Something wrong with Plesk distribution server? cpio md5 errors

HostaHost

Silver Pleskian
For the past few weeks, adding components to Plesk via autoinstaller more often than not produces errors like these on the first attempt:

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /etc/init.d/pc-remote;52e2a8c6: cpio: MD5 sum mismatch

That was converting a centos 5 i386 server from qmail to postfix, but it's not limited to just postfix or the OS; I see the same thing adding pieces to centos 6, i386 and x86_64, etc. Typically running the same attempt a few more times will finally get it to work, so perhaps some server within the Parallels' CDN has corrupt files.
