I tried it myself (Linux/Firefox 3.5)
The DTA plugin seems to be a bit unreliable. First it was fast, 5 MB/
s, then it said "N/A", then it was slow for the last 90% (switching
back to % view from N/A)
but after all, the inependently calculated md5 sum matches with the
one from the website.

Do you remember from which server you have downloaded the metalink
file? William has replaced the .tar source file after about 2 hours
with a different one. I re-calculated md5 sums and this metafile, but
perhaps some mirror played dumb and didn't update the file because it
was already there with the same name? If that's really the case ->
lesson learned: never never never ever replace a file that has already
gone "out" to the world with a different one of the same name :(
