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?
