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 ' return exactly? If you try 'md5sum ' more than once, but each time clear the memory cache first, do you get the same number? > Probably I'll not get any explanation by the community (or even worse > someone could 'attest me to try to attrack attention...')
