Good, I first thought that there will be a release without a branch.

Yes, the download worked now but the md5 (I get
cf136499afdbf09a3792220d72f0efda) and the signature (BAD signature)
for apache-ofbiz-incubating-4.0.0.RC1.tgz seem to be wrong.
Looking closer at it even a tar tvzf fails .. ah, it looks like the file
has been gziped two times.
How did you build the archives? I haven't found a dist-target in build.xml.
