You could start off with specifying what server you are using and whether you have the same problem with other mirrors.
As already said the problem exists with an unspecified number of mirrors. I don't use "a" mirror. I installed your rpmforge repo rpm package. That retrieves the list of mirrors and tries one (at random it seems). The checksum fails, it goes off to the next and so on. It seems to do this about ten times and then stops. Or maybe it was out of mirrors. One time none of them succeeded the checksum check, usually it takes 4, 5 or 6 tries before I get a valid checksum. I didn't write them down as it always seemed to be different ones (but I may be wrong on that) and there's apparently no log which lists the failures. I can either follow-up here or in pm if it happens again. So, is there something I can do when it fails again? For instance, could I do a manual checksum check? If so, how? Is this an md5 check of the primary.xml.gz?
