I don't know what the long term solution is, but I do think I agree that an option of continuing in the event of an md5sum mismatch would be nice, esp. if this is likely to keep happening. It could even list the expected md5sum, the actual md5sum, and a URL that would give more info explaining the issue, and that page could probably be updated much more quickly with updated checksums if adobe breaks things compared to actually putting out the new packages.
Still getting md5sum mismatch on 2008-08-08 on gutsy.
