I haven't been following this thread, but I notice that Adli apparently 
used the wrong command line for md5sum.

Only use the first line, not both lines.

md5sum dazuko-2.3.7.tar.gz

The second line is the output that you are supposed to see. The 
interesting value is the one that starts with 5b... The one that md5sum 
reports should exactly match this long number. Adli instead sees a value 
that starts with a9... so his dazuko tarball is either corrupted, or 
already uncompressed. Some older browsers will recognize a .gz file and 
uncompress it on the fly while downloading it, but still save it with 
the .gz extension. If that is the case, the solution is to rename the 
file to dazuko-2.3.7.tar and use tar xf dazuko-2.3.7.tar instead of the 
tar xzf command.

If the file is genuinely corrupted, re-download the dazuko-2.3.7.tar.gz 
file using the wget command that John suggested.
