The checksum check is there to warn you if the package that you are downloading is corrupted or not. Chances are that the mirror you are getting this file from has a corrupted archive. Safest is to use another mirror to download this file from. Note, this is not a CPANPLUS bug, but a feature protecting you. If you are *sure* you can trust this file, you can disable checksum checks by typing, in the default shell: s conf md5 0 Good luck,
