Lately I have not been able to download and Spybot updates. With every attempt I receive a "Bad Checksum" error. Any recommendations?

For example:
http://downloads.planetmirror.com/pub/spybot/clsid.zip
11/10/2006 1:49:11 PM - Local file: C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Updates\clsid.zip
11/10/2006 1:49:11 PM - FILE REJECTED because of bad checksum
11/10/2006 1:49:13 PM downloaded update Startup info
11/10/2006 1:49:13 PM - URL: http://downloads.planetmirror.com/pub/spybot/startup.zip
11/10/2006 1:49:13 PM - Local file: C:\Program Files\Spybot - Search & Destroy\Updates\startup.zip
11/10/2006 1:49:13 PM - FILE REJECTED because of bad checksum
