Any reason why sha1sum returns a different result each time it is run

Are you sure that you were not still downloading? Bittorent makes
right away a _sparse_ file of a final length but its size is a
different story. In other words numbers you will see from
'ls -ls' or 'ls -lsh' will get consistent only when you finished
that download. With other download methods, say wget, a length will
grow over time.
