Well ... there doesn't seem to be a 'problem' - I repeated the same procedure I
used originally just now (using wget) and the checksums match. As far as I know
there is no 'proxy service' involved. My lesson here seems to be 'Always check
the md5sum!'
Thanks to all

Thanks for the reply, and yes I did download a second time - with the same
result. However, I didn't use curl for the download - nor did I know about
redirect headers and the -L switch that curl uses to follow those redirects.
curl -O -L etc. worked the charm (and provided an education). Never the less
the flex file at that location does, in fact have a different md5 sum than is
listed in the md5sums file at that same location. Perhaps curl (with that
particular set of switches) could be mentioned in the book instead of wget.
Again, Thanks for the reply 0 and the education!

Greetings,
Sometimes when using a proxy service, downloads may be affected.
Sincerely,
