Summary0014330: ExternalProject download error misleading if MD5 check is used
DescriptionIf one uses ExternalProject with MD5 check and the download doesn't work (e.g. no internet connection), then the error message is misleading. It states that the MD5 checksum is incorrect, instead of e.g. "unknown host", as it would without the MD5 check enabled. This is because the MD5 sum is checked in the file(DOWNLOAD ..) before the error code of the download is checked. Thus the wrong (/less important) error is shown.

I'll also add that I've been recently hit by this issue. In this case, the download failed because the version of CMake installed via "pkg install cmake" on FreeBSD didn't have support for downloading via SSL. Instead, you ended up with a 0 byte file and an error about a mismatch, but the real problem was completely masked.
