I would say, that the file is already corrupted by the time you get
it onto your Windows box. The md5 check will not fail unless the
file on your Windows desktop is different from the file on the server.
Check the size of it, it should be 6268503 bytes. If your file is
smaller, the download failed, if larger your download process has
munged the file in some way.
NB, when I downloaded the file it had an extra .tar extension. i.e.
it was called subversion-1.4.0.tar.gz.tar. Maybe this confused your
browser/downloader.
