I used Netscrape to download the files.  I downloaded them
again as Brad made new versions.

with the new files I get

elara-191% cksum InsightToolkit-1.0.0.tar.gz
2550030661  7757274 InsightToolkit-1.0.0.tar.gz

and

Despite the cksum/sum differences, the files now untar
successfully with both gnutar and /usr/bin/tar (Solaris)

i guess the new files that Brad put in place have done the trick
and that the cksum/sum values you provided were for the files
before Brad put the new ones in place.
