That is rather strange. Can you check in a browser that you get 
a decent file when downloading:
	https://ctan.org/tex-archive/systems/texlive/tlnet/tlpkg/texlive.tlpdb.sha512.asc
it should look like

**************
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----

about 7 lines of ascii stuff
-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
***************

If yes, then could it be that you are using (probably without knowing)
some proxy set by your institution?

Best

Norbert
