	I'm new to FreeBSD and I'm not sure if this is the correct list
but here goes.  I've been having trouble installing 3.3-RELEASE via ftp
from a local mirror.  The install dies while extracting bin.  After
regetting the files multiple times, I think there is a problem with 
distribution on ftp.freebsd.org.  The md5 sum that I get (after regetting
several times) for bin.ec is:
	a3a144670416db0ef6821a872392b580  bin.ec
the file CHECKSUM.MD5 says it should be:
	MD5 (bin.ec) = 15b7dc56838eaa3ced32e89cf6a51cfb
All the other bin.?? have the correct MD5 sum.  Also when I try to 
test the distribution: cat bin.?? | tar -tzpf - I get:
./
bin/
bin/cat
bin/chio
...
usr/lib/libmytinfo.a
usr/lib/libmytinfo.so.2
usr/lib/libmytinfo.so
usr/lib/libncurses.a
tar: Skipping to next file header

gzip: stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors

	This is the same place the install dies when I alt-F2 during the
install.

	Is anybody else having the same problem or is everyone using the
ISO image?  Any help, including a better place to direct this question,
would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Mike
