Works for me too, using our in-tree ftp client: $ ftp http://www.apache.org/dist/xml/xalan-j/xalan-j_2_7_0-bin.tar.gz $ md5 -b xalan* 1SbQhIyIYHzk46Ck7bddUA== # quick way to tell if one distfile matches without fetching the others $ grep $(md5 -b xalan* | awk '{print $NF}') distinfo MD5 (xalan-j_2_7_0-bin.tar.gz) = 1SbQhIyIYHzk46Ck7bddUA== Fetch works, checksums match.
