I've downloaded the 9/24/08 i386 install.iso from both rt.fm and
ftp3.usa.openbsd.org and got bad MD5s on both files.
MD5 from both downloads was:

while the ftp MD5 file says it should be:
f87b839db833380f41f02bd7fffb2d27
Haven't checked the master fanout site because I got repeated "too many
users" errors.
Joe,
I think the MD5 file was out of sync in the past week.
I downloaded the i386 install44.iso a few days ago. I just checked the
file I downloaded, and it does have the "correct" MD5
(f87b839db833380f41f02bd7fffb2d27) according to what you posted.
*But* on the day I downloaded it, I was very sure the MD5 file
on the FTP site was advertising a different hash.
Like you, I thought I had a bad ISO, so I downloaded the ISO file
from a different mirror, but the second ISO file had the same hash as
the first.
So the MD5 file was either "ahead" or "behind." Since the install44.iso
file I downloaded was dated Sep 20, the MD5 file was probably behind.
Or maybe it's just one of those transient things that happen when
FTP sites are being mirrored.
Or maybe you and I are both crazy. :)
