Trying to get the win32 zip package, but I seem to have problems with the md5 checksum of the file downloaded from several mirrors.

# md5sum php-5.1.0-Win32.zip
93152588795d377743fe1b1fb1680b84 php-5.1.0-Win32.zip

While on the downloads page it says:

PHP 5.1.0 zip package [8,457Kb] - 24 Nov 2005
md5: a2dc5ffbeddef7c67b1ac9c1a4a3b408

The -installer's md5 is fine, maybe it's just me, but could you please verify it? Thanks.
