That's pretty cute. I get:

sfrost(at)tamriel:/home/sfrost> md5sum primary.sqlite.bz2
168232945d791e55e56bb29757458157 primary.sqlite.bz2

Which matches an md5sum run on the file on the server directly and the
file timestamp indicates that it hasn't changed for ~2 days.

Have you tried opening the file you end up receiving and inspecting it?
Something is clearly off if you're getting a different md5sum.

Can you try from a system that isn't attached to your corporate network?

Agreed, that's curious- perhaps there's a cacheing transparent proxy in
the corporate network that's feeding you an older, but otherwise valid,
file?

Thanks,
