That's the right size. Did you get the other glibc rpms? glibc-devel
and glibc-profile?

I show here:

-rw-r--r-- 1 502 vdanen 3733043 Jan 18 12:15 /share/updates/7.2/RPMS/glibc-2.1.3-18.3mdk.i586.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 502 vdanen 8947707 Jan 18 12:16 /share/updates/7.2/RPMS/glibc-devel-2.1.3-18.3mdk.i586.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 502 vdanen 7037880 Jan 18 12:17 /share/updates/7.2/RPMS/glibc-profile-2.1.3-18.3mdk.i586.rpm

Those are correct sizes. You can also run "rpm --checksig" on the
files and it will tell you if the md5's are incorrect or if the
package is damaged at all.
