Mr. Hall, thanks for the link and checksum.  In my humble opinion, each vim 
ball that is for downloading should be provided its correspondent checksum of 
MD5 or SHA256 or like. And, the checksum should not go into a file to be 
downloaded and should be DIRECTLY displayed on download page, because if vim 
ball has been tainted by a middle man (like a mirror site), then the checksum 
file too. Thus the user will never know the original right checksum and the 
downloaded vim ball and 'checksum file' become a pile of craps.  It only takes 
several seconds to compute a checksum and several minutes to put that checksum 
DIRECTLY on download page not in the form of a file for downloading. The 
internet is far to be safe.

Yesterday, I think of an interesting idea. That is, can you construct such a 
compressed ball containing a number of files and directories amongst which one 
file contains the MD5 or SHA256 checksum of that compressed ball?

Mr. Pavlov, you are right. Indeed, the filesize was twisted by a twisted OS.
