Well, it said it was and I had even thought about that and double 
checked.  But even then, with no torrent running, why the inconsistent 
results?  Same today after a reboot.

I did a wget of the file from a different mirror and sha1sum is correct 
on this one.  Not blaming the mirror, just noting facts. I noticed 
sha1sum ran longer on the torrent version, so maybe something about the 
file structure, however I ran a fsck and it was ok.

I guess this one will just have to be one of those unexplainable things. 
  Tho I do dislike those.
