I don't know what the long term solution is, but I do think I agree that
an option of continuing in the event of an md5sum mismatch would be
nice, esp. if this is likely to keep happening.  It could even list the
expected md5sum, the actual md5sum, and a URL that would give more info
explaining the issue, and that page could probably be updated much more
quickly with updated checksums if adobe breaks things compared to
actually putting out the new packages.
