[MiKTeX] Files failing verification when downloading

[Harry J. <ha...@wa...>]

Hi,

When using the net installer to update my local distribution directory, 
it fails with the error message: "The operation could not be completed 
for the following reason: The operation could not be completed because 
the following file failed verification: 
T:\apps\Miktex\2.9\repository\nameauth.tar.lzma"

The file in question is not in that folder, so I think the problem is in 
the source distribution on the network.

The log file says:

(expecting 695344 bytes)...

An error occurred:
   source file: Libraries\MiKTeX\PackageManager\PackageInstaller.cpp
   source line: 3281
   message: The operation could not be completed because the following 
file failed verification:

I've tried three different mirrors and two different versions of net 
installer (version 2.9.4222, and the latest, 2.9.4503).  I've also tried 
downloading a completely fresh copy of the distribution, and this failed 
in a similar way but with the file anyfontsize.tar.lzma:

Using the 64-bit version of the net installer made no difference.

Choosing the Basic distribution instead of the Complete distribution 
failed on file pstricks.tar.lzma:

Anybody know what's going on?  Is it working for anyone else?
