[CentOS-mirror] Metadata file does not match checksum

Hello all,

I'm seeing some issues from several mirrors with bad metadata:
[Errno -1] Metadata file does not match checksum

For example, when using the mirrorlist, several mirrors are failing. I've
tried some individual mirrors with success.

I've been noticing this for about 3 hours. Is this just a temporary issue
or is there some issue with mirror syncing.
