Uhhh... Call me stupid, but how can checksum solve anything other than
assuring that the download worked?? AFAIK, Maven does not pick up the
checksums from the "authorative" server and validates it against the
mirrored one. Perhaps that has changed since "back then"... And even
then, how hard can it be to get the same 1024/2048/65536/... bit
checksum by modifying that many 'extra' or 'unused' bits?
