I don't understand what you mean by "the" md5.sum file.  There is a md5
file for every package.  If you open
<http://mirrors.kernel.org/sources.redhat.com/cygwin/> and traverse into
the release subdirectory and look at any package dir, there is a md5.sum
file with timestamp corresponding to the same date as the packages.  In
other words, I don't see anything wrong.
