Which one did you find? The one from the Island of TeX?

We are trying to provide more or less all relevant TL builds to our 
users and are open to feature requests of all kinds. After reading your 
mail we immediately added such a check:

https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive/-/commit/6620b936b174c4e6b4670aa221e05769ffd5fee4 
for sha512

and

https://gitlab.com/islandoftex/images/texlive/-/commit/000678d5533774adf6af7c8621186e1fdd9a61ef 
for gpg.

Sometimes these mismatches are caused by mirrors updating their files. 
In this case, waiting a few minutes solves the problem. This is the most 
common cause we have found for such errors. For us, testing with a few 
mirrors, the shasum check succeeds.

 From now on, the Island of TeX build will do it. :)

If you need anything else, feel free to open feature requests there.

Cheerio,

Paulo
