texlive texmf hash value incorrect?

[Danny Milosavljevic]

Hi,

so I've downloaded approximately 6 GB of texlive today and it always fails at the verification of the hash value:

Starting download of /gnu/store/xdjl5wxdjghq85nbc9qacgyzh8d54f6y-texlive-20160523b-texmf.tar.xz
From ftp://tug.org/historic/systems/texlive/2016/texlive-20160523b-texmf.tar.xz...

 ...3b-texmf.tar.xz  1.93GiB     354KiB/s 01:35:20 [####################] 100.0%
output path `/gnu/store/xdjl5wxdjghq85nbc9qacgyzh8d54f6y-texlive-20160523b-texmf.tar.xz' should have sha256 hash `1dv8vgfzpczqw82hv9g7a8djhhyzywljmrarlcyy6g2qi5q51glr', instead has `1f10klmlxz5sn46m3ir6al2vdlk8ar52zp6c4a5b9gzq4sckaaiy'

Does anyone else have this problem?  Did they change the texmf tarball in place?

Also, is there a way to reduce the size by modularizing this file?  The chance that something goes wrong on the download of a file this large is big - and then it will just abort and throw it away - or hang, I had that sometimes.

Could you try and diff what you go here against:

  https://mirror.hydra.gnu.org/file/texlive-20160523b-texmf.tar.xz/sha256/1dv8vgfzpczqw82hv9g7a8djhhyzywljmrarlcyy6g2qi5q51glr
