I'm downloading a file - https://dl3.checkpoint.com/paid/11/11d68153e662f445193e7ff90e1bc130/DeploymentAgent_000002101_1.tgz?HashKey=1629887866_d428dee200080bae60c1724c877cfcac&xtn=.tgz After testing it's integrity vs. it's predicted SHA1 code - "f96c42cc8e9e9828841935084d602802ce5c5069" , I get a different code.

Downloading the same file with IE or Chrome works fine.. how is that?

It could be due to some noise in the signal. Does the file have that same odd checksum when downloaded each time with Firefox or was it maybe a one off?

Thanks JP, it's consistent but different :(
