[protext] can't install protext because of md5 checksum mismatch.

[Ahmet Saner]

Hi,
   
  I downloaded files

03/06/2007 11:52    548,974,564 ProTeXt-2.0.exe  03/06/2007 11:52             50 ProTeXt-2.0.exe.md5  02/11/2007 06:29             15 protext.exe  02/11/2007 06:29             19 protext.exe.md5  
   
  from ftp site ftp://ftp.ntua.gr/mirror/ctan/systems/windows/protext/
   
  but using neither ProTeXt-2.0.exe nor protext.exe , I can't install MiKTeX at first...
   
  When extracting those .rar archive files, always these problems occuring according to install log:
   
  Extracting MiKTeX/tm/packages/latex2e-help-texinfo.cab
MiKTeX/tm/packages/latex2e-help-texinfo.cab
The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
The archive is either in unknown format or damaged
Extracting MiKTeX/tm/packages/latexdiff.tar.bz2
Extracting MiKTeX/tm/packages/latexfonts.cab
  .
   
  and after while i am trying to install MiKTeX after rar file extracted, it says md5 checksum mismatch occurred.
   
  Log is like this:

  This can be the result of a failed download operation. Another reason might be that the local package database is outdated.

  Can anyone please help me understand what is the problem?
  Are the files I downloaded corrupted or something or anyone else having same error?
   
  Thank you in advance.
