I don't know where you got your version, but I get:

The mirror master has the same md5sum.

Here is something I don't understand. If I use wget
to fetch xterm-353.tgz, as you did, then I get the
same md5sum as you, which is also in the book.
However if I paste the link to the file in the
Firefox address bar and press enter, then request
to save the file, I get a xterm-353.tgz file that
has a slightly different size and the different
md5sum that I reported above. I have been using
the latter method (pasting links in the Firefox
address bar) to download all the files, and
all the other md5sums are correct. Do you have
any idea why that method doesn't seem to
work for the xterm-353.tgz file?
The only thing I can think of is that there is some DNS forwarding going
on and actually downloading from a different site. What happens if you use:
http://160.153.42.69/archives/xterm/xterm-353.tgz
Also you can try unpacking both files and doing a diff. You will have
to rename the directory xterm-353/ after untarring the first tarball to,
say, xterm-353-bad/ and then doing:
diff -Naur xterm-353-bad xterm-353
If you get no output then the contents of the files are identical and
there is some timestamps that are different.
If there are changes, please post them here. The files being different
sizes is an indication that there will be something different. It may
be innocent but depends on the actual differences.
