Md5sum is used to verify whether the downloaded file is correct. If the official md5sum is inconsistent with that sites, there will be a feeling that file from sites is wrong or previous version. I know that the problem with md5sum is caused by the timestamp, but I can't know that by checking failed. There are many reasons for the difference in md5sum. I don’t know if it is easy to modify the previous file, but reducing the meaningless file changes after the publish should improve this problem in the future versions.
