I am getting a different jar file and sha1 signature from bilbo.org maven
repo depending on whether I use maven or a browser.

When I manually clear out my local repository for spring-webmvc

When I build a project from the command line with maven 2.0.9 I see that the
only file downloaded is:

Downloading:
http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/pub/mirrors/maven2/org/springframework/spring-webmvc/2.5.6/spring-webmvc-2.5.6.pom
5K downloaded
Downloading:
http://maven.springframework.org/release/org/springframework/spring-webmvc/2.5.6/spring-webmvc-2.5.6.jar
392K downloaded

When I look at the spring-webmvc-2.5.6.jar.sha1 downloaded by maven I see:
f19e2e60721a2fc2111c0d6f95f51f224b9e9883

If I go to the same URL on ibiblio.org using my browser and down load it:
spring-webmvc-2.5.6.jar.sha1 has a value of:
fa425355629ce2ce0bfb870849a6b6634f299649

When I do a jar file comparison between the one maven downloaded and the one
I downloaded with my browser
There are 18 files in the jar file that are different including the
MANIFEST.MF.

I have done this experiment twice and get the same results.

I have a version of the spring-webmvc-2.5.6.jar.sha1 and
spring-webmvc-2.5.6.jar that I downloaded a year ago,
and those files match the version I downloaded with the browser i.e.:
fa425355629ce2ce0bfb870849a6b6634f299649


What's going on here?
