No. Most people don't know how to use MD5 so we abandoned the use of them when we moved to the new site. Now, the files are distributed as ZIP files; if you can't uncompress your ZIP files with the recommended tools, then you've got a corrupt download. If you CAN, then your download is fine (ie, if you are having troubles and are suspecting a corrupt download, you can rule that out if you are able to decompress the ZIP file you downloaded).
