Right, but that could be incidental.  Dodgy PSUs can appear to be random in 
their behaviour, or depend on the overall load of the machine.

OK, if the size is correct in kibibits (and not rounded up) then the 
discrepancy points to a miscalculation of the md5 hash.

What does 'md5sum -c <file_name.md5>' return exactly?

If you try 'md5sum <file_name>' more than once, but each time clear the memory 
cache first, do you get the same number?

I'm sure if you share more info some good Samaritan will drop by trying to 
help.  :-)
