Greetings,

I've downloaded the Rev 5 file from three different mirrors, and, with the Rev 4 version I get 267edeafdb089c32b641b8c6b0159f6c as the MD5 Hash, while the page shows 7237b0ef4872489c583250499ed9b25e as the MD5 Hash.

Am I doing something wrong?

It was still showing the Rev 3 MD5.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks John, I use dial up internet and always wonder if it was an error like this or if the download got all farbled up during the download when I get a mismatch.
