Mailinglist should be fine. I don't know hydra enough to comment
though.

Excerpts from Patrick Wheeler's message of Tue Mar 12 16:17:11 +0100 2013:
> No improvement,
wrong: There is an improvement: You know that both failed: hydra and
falling back downloading it yourself.

if you're paranoid the way to go is get the source, and compare the
mirror source - you can't because you don't have it on disk - neither do I.

Unless somebody else still has sources best you can do is use the files
from the official site hoping its fine.

(If you have a better reply, improve mine)
