md5sum

Is there any problem with the dvd iso? It's the second time I download the 7.1 version and it's bigger than indicated on the ftp page. Of course md5sum does not match. Any help?

Did you noticed that the dvd iso is gzipped?
Could that be the problem?
ftp> pwd
Remote directory: /pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/7.1
ftp> ls *dvd*
