MD5 digest: BAD Expected

[Eugen Leitl]

Does anyone knows what's up with error messages like

Downloading Packages
error: rpmts_HdrFromFdno: MD5 digest: BAD
Expected(3c92110ada4549cf6818835a7c69e7f0) !=
(37a261901ff63c1c711f112d17ff82d6)
Damaged RPM /var/cache/yum/updates-released/packages/libpng-1.2.5-8.i386.rpm,
removing.

?

I'm getting these frequently when running yum update on Athlon64
or Opteron (Sun Fire) systems. Ctrl+C and rerunning yum usually fixes this.

Are these timeouts due to overloaded servers?

Why doesn't Fedora use Bittorrent or other P2P means of update, anyone knows?

(Otoh, FC2 did install cleanly on the Sun Fire, while SLES9 did leave a
broken install, and SLES8 hung on boot).
