The shell script is ok, I think:

[grass.itc.it]

bash-2.04$ cd binary/mswindows_cygwin/
bash-2.04$ l
total 44288
-rw-rw-r--    1 neteler  grass        9149 Jun 24 16:23 grass-5.7.0-i686-pc-cygwin-24_06_2004-install.sh
-rw-rw-r--    1 neteler  grass    41899191 Jun 24 16:28 grass-5.7.0-i686-pc-cygwin-24_06_2004.tar.gz

bash-2.04$ grep 41899191 grass-5.7.0-i686-pc-cygwin-24_06_2004-install.sh
TAR_FILE_SIZE=41899191
bash-2.04$ pwd
/hardmnt/grass0/neteler/www/grass57/binary/mswindows_cygwin

So that looks ok. Maybe MS-Windows has a different idea of bytes?

Up to now it always worked.
