   md5sum confirmed, after second download from another mirror:

http://mirrors.gigenet.com/archlinux/iso/2015.02.01/archlinux-2015.02.01-dual.iso

   I get the correct md5sum:

3d6a54886230649a049a9d431e03bbba  archlinux-2015.02.01-dual.iso

   The other alternative is that there is a bad copy of the ISO on 
www.gtlib.gatech.edu. I've only had a couple of mismatches in nearly 2 decades 
of downloads and each time it has either been a bad md5sum listed on the server 
or a bad copy of the ISO. Maybe this time is my first real bad download.

   Whoever has access to www.gtlib.gatech.edu may want to run a md5sum/shasum 
against the copy of the ISO there -- just in case... The md5sum listed is 
obviously correct as it is confirmed with the ISO download from 
mirrors.gigenet.com, but I haven't confirmed where it was an initial problem 
with the download or a problem with the ISO on www.gtlib.gatech.edu.

   Both downloads show the exact same size: 616562688 bytes.

   Thanks for your confirmation Jesse.
