Comment 31 for bug 1373598

I just switched to ubuntu 14.10, not having the issue there. but from my
experience hash sum mismatch may mean the data is changed like when
connecting through a proxy. not that it helps.

I think also it's hard to offer free support for every little thing, so if
you can, upgrade to ubuntu 14.10
