When you say the "one on the web" do you mean the file
31DEC00.tar.gz.md5sum dated July 9, 2001 containing

2f340be7620042c01c38829949fe8379  31DEC00.tar.gz

There are two possibilities - your md5sum works differently or the
copy of the tar ball did not work.  Try the copy again - be sure to
specify a BINARY copy, otherwise ftp will add line-feeds to any byte
that matches a carriage return!
