Description

This link on the Flume download page:
http://www.apache.org/dyn/closer.cgi/flume/1.6.0/apache-flume-1.6.0-bin.tar.gz

downloads a 4.7kb file that doesn't match the md5sum given and obviously is not a valid Flume binary.

I'm unsure if this is a simple mistake or a malicious file.

Going to the main distribution page (http://www.apache.org/dist/flume/1.6.0/) gives a valid version of flume.
