I was also bitten by this one recently.  I think that part of the
problem here is that a failed checksum is considered to be a
permanent error by pkgsrc.  Perhaps if we changed the system to
try the next site if the checksum fails, we could avoid some of
the problems that 3rd party FTP vendors cause?
