libgcrypt md5sum mismatch and setup

When checking the md5 integrity of an rsync copy of a cygwin mirror,
should I specifically *not* check the integrity of the setup.hint files?
A month or two ago we noticed that libgcrypt's md5.sum file did not
check out against the actual setup.hint file. This is now true of a few
mirror sites we've tried.
$ md5sum --check md5.sum
libgcrypt-1.2.0-2-src.tar.bz2: OK
libgcrypt-1.2.0-2.tar.bz2: OK
libgcrypt-1.2.1-1-src.tar.bz2: OK
libgcrypt-1.2.1-1.tar.bz2: OK
setup.hint: FAILED
md5sum: WARNING: 1 of 5 computed checksums did NOT match

ldesc: "Libgcrypt is a general purpose crypto library based on the code
used in GnuPG."
category: Libs
requires: cygwin libgpg-error _update-info-dir
Interestingly, setup.exe (with All packages chosen to install) only
complained of an incomplete download on t1lib, not on libgcrypt.
(NB: FWIW, we noticed that t1lib also failed its md5 check for the
chosen mirror site.)
