The file at
http://www.openssl.org/./source/openssl-0.9.8f.tar.gz.sha1
contains the checksum

   0a0a3fd9be3d46053df2e91b6eb8a3b4348c793c

whereas the file at http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8f.tar.gz (even 
after repeated download) has SHA1 checksum

   e8716370093b112763ace0c66c06a0d6049e413b

The published OpenPGP signature 
http://www.openssl.org/source/openssl-0.9.8f.tar.gz.asc was made with key 
0x2719AF35 and matches for the tarball. But previous releases were signed 
with key 0xF295C759.

This looks kind of suspicious to me. However, why would an attacker replace 
the OpenPGP signature and not the SHA1 checksum?

Hopefully, there is a simple explanation for this.
