[lug] kernel.org FC12 checksums

I'm trying to figure out if this is a site issue or an issue at my end, it appears there is some sort of download error for the FC12 DVD. 

Looks like tummy.com is not available yet, so the only site I've tried is the kernel.org URL. Using this download URL for Fedora Core 12 DVD ISO for i386: 
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/12/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-12-i386-DVD.iso 

Related file: 
ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/12/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-12-i386-CHECKSUM 

According to the web page, for the SHA1SUM they show, the checksum should be: 
f0ad929cd259957e160ea442eb80986b5f01daaffdbcc7e5a1840a666c4447c71 

However, if I use the command line sha1sum, with or without the -b binary option, I get something different: 
0dc8ed436f0b44874454a379e8de5ad057c0115d 

I seem to get the same SHA1SUM each time I download, and regardless of whether I use http or ftp. For ftp, I've used both firefox and wget. Not only does my SHA1SUM differ, it is quite far off in hash length. The system's sha1sum is a much shorter answer than the actual published SHA1SUM. Am I using sha1sum wrong? Is the CHECKSUM file wrong, and it isn't really SHA1?
