Well, that is to be expected if the archive changes, isn't it?  So you get
the new archive and use it.  If somebody else creates an md5 of some old
archive, well, that is _their_ problem, so complaining to them is the
appropriate thing to do.  If they want to make POV-Ray available this way
they can just mirror the archive they used; which is nicer anyway as it
reduces povray.org server traffic.
