i am pretty sure the file is broken ...

It is broken (as Juergen wrote) but this is not the right way to verify it: your command would fail the same way on any executable file.

The command "md5sum -c" assumes you have a text file (call it MD5FILE) with the expected checksums, one per line, like
http://download.services.openoffice.org/files/stable/3.3.0/OOo_3.3.0_Win_x86_install_en-US.exe.md5

You then run "md5sum -c MD5FILE" on this file to recompute the checksum on the file you downloaded and automatically compare it with the one stored in MD5FILE.
