No problem here, it is consistent with what the page displays:

$  wget http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/pool/main/v/vrms/vrms_1.12-0.1.tar.gz
[..]
9,585       --.-K/s   in 0.02s   

$ ls -l vrms_1.12-0.1.tar.gz 
 9585 Jan 17  2007 vrms_1.12-0.1.tar.gz

$ md5sum vrms_1.12-0.1.tar.gz 
09e5aa054a4286de7e57286460c7cdae  vrms_1.12-0.1.tar.gz
