Different MD5 Values?

I downloaded cisco ios and check with the MD5 checker and it is correct.

After that I uploaded it into the cisco router and run verify /MD5 but it is not correct.

But I stlll load the firmware and it worked properly. SHA-1 value and integrity check passed after ROMMON update.

So why the md5 check is incorrect but firmware still work?

Are there different md5 values?

Compare the MD5 with the previous version.  I suspect the contractors (who update the website) copy-n-pasted the wrong values and nobody at Cisco bothered to check.
