> *The download mirrors page has a link to the Formiliab md5 program which gives the wrong md5 digest for apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip.*
> *I suggest you remove this link from the download mirrors page.*
> I downloaded apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip from the downlaod mirrors page page: http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi?path=/cxf/2.3.4/apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip via this link http://apache.mirror.testserver.li//cxf/2.3.4/apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip.
> I downloaded apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip.md5 from this page: http://cxf.apache.org/download.html.  The value of the digest is: a48280a79c65d28e446a357613fa5b46
> The download mirrors page has three links at the bottom for Windows md5 applications.
> The first link is to http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/.  I downloaded md5.zip from this site, unpacked it and ran it against the zip file.  The result (incorrect digest) is shown below.

> Y:\Tmp\md5>md5 -d..\apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip

> The second link is to http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/.  From there I downloaded md5sums-1.2.zip, unpacked it and ran it.  The result (correct digest) is shown below.
> {code}
> Y:\Tmp\md5sums-1.2>md5sums -e ..\apache-cxf-2.3.4.zip
