The latest official CD images are version 2.1r4. The images you downloaded
should be 2.1r4 too, so you should use the MD5SUMS files in the r4 directory
to check them.
The r2 only holds the m68k images, that due to problems with some packages and
boot-floppies could not be re-built for r3 and r4.
The problems with r5 are "about" to be resolved, but because several things
have changed since the release of r5, the CD images will skip that number and
head on to r6 instead.
