[Tinyos-help] Hashsum mismatch with Stanford repository

[David]

Hi

it cannot be related to my machine since I tried it as well on my  
Desctop PC as on a virtual machine (on my macbook). Just tested Linux  
Mint but I got the same error there too (hashsum mismatch). I thought  
for some time it was the distros fault but I have tested several now  
all with the same result.

David.
