# file hdf5-1.10.6.tar.gz

I click on the filename on the SBo page; don't know which tool is used.
Looking at the HDF group's web site they have 1.12.0 available; prior
releases are not shown there.

Yes, that has the same checksum.

Most tarballs are downloaded by clicking on the filename on their SBo page.
I've not before had this issue.
