Bug Description

This is my first bug report, please excuse if I make any faux pas.

Brief:

http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/MD5SUMS lists a different md5sum for wubi.exe than what I get by running md5sum. I think my md5sum is working properly because the two iso's I downloaded via bittorrent matched just fine.

Details:

I did this:

1) went to http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/
2) grabbed md5sums
3 grabbed wubi.exe

then

4) md5sum -c MD5SUMS
returned:

wubi.exe: FAILED

5) then I ran md5sum wubi.exe
returned:
a96aa69961f3ed80dd7a88fae1e28196 wubi.exe

but http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/MD5SUMS says:

cdd32124f23b455b0aa22cc3ff35ff35 *wubi.exe

6) I believe my md5sum is working properly because my other two downloads match:

ubuntu-8.04-alternate-i386.iso: OK
ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso: OK

** however, both of these I downloaded via the torrents. wubi I downloaded directly from the link on http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04/)

That's all.
