Unfortunately sha512.sum checksum files are no longer reliable, unless
they have a later time stamp than the other downloads, as they are
updated asynchronously.
I assume you're basing this on my reply in [1].
But that's not relevant here, because these files aren't part of the
main /var/ftp/ area on sourceware, they are only served via the website.
The checksums in https://cygwin.com/setup/sha512.sum are updated when a
new version of setup is uploaded, or at least, very shortly thereafter
(see [2]).
The checksums in https://cygwin.com/sha512.sum are updated when the
links are rotated to point to a new setup version.
