> wrong MD5SUM

* DOWNLOAD's line should be now:
DOWNLOAD="http://code.suckless.org/dl/wmii/wmii-3.6.tar.gz"

* MD5SUM is correct.

> LimeWire
> http://www10.limewire.com/download/LimeWireOther.zip
> wrong MD5SUM

* As README states:
"Note that the filename of the LimeWireOther.zip file does *not* change
with newer releases, so make sure you keep that in mind when you're
verifying md5sums; if they don't match, a newer version might have been
released."

* To get a file from a https server (at least with fglrx-* https
server) you can make two things:

1).- Download a $FILE with the bundle of certificate authorities
("CA") (from wget(1)) and pass it  to wget with
"--ca-certificate=$FILE". You can get this $FILE from
http://curl.haxx.se/docs/caextract.html, download "cacert.pem" into
fglrx-driver directory(for example) and execute wget as:

$ wget --ca-certificate="cacert.pem"
"https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64.run"

2).- Also, you can just execute wget as:

$ wget --no-check-certificate
"https://a248.e.akamai.net/f/674/9206/0/www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64.run"

* BTW and JFYI you can also use:

$ wget "http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/ati-driver-installer-8-7-x86.x86_64.run"

* This way i have found it today ;-)
