Got it in one.

Yum, firefox, curl, and wget, each at least once. (Now you know who to
blame for Redhat's high bandwidth bill last month.) I don't remember
if I checksummed them all, but I attempted to install each one at
least once, and got the same md5sum error each time.

When I uploaded it from the Fedora box to the Solaris box, I used wget
on the Solaris end and apache on the Fedora end. 

I just tried it again, with the same result. Would someone else mind
trying the download and seeing if they get the same checksum?
