I've downloaded gimp-manual_1.0.0-1.deb three times, and each time it failed to install due to errors. At least the last two time, the download gave the same file, which leads me to believe it's not ftp corruption. Here's a couple samples:
# dpkg -D1 -i gimp-manual_1.0.0-1.deb (Reading database ... 48701 files and directories currently installed.) Unpacking gimp-manual (from gimp-manual_1.0.0-1.deb) ...
