It would have helped if you had reported what the precise URL was that 
you downloaded, and what precise md5sum you got.

I can confirm that the official URL for Python 2.4.4 is

http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.4.4/Python-2.4.4.tar.bz2

and the official md5sum of that is

0ba90c79175c017101100ebf5978e906
