Nope. You aren't being stupid.  Other people are having the same
problems (me in particular!).  Try the following:
   Take the a64.lhw file.  Un-lhwarp it onto a floppy. There will be
   several bad files (actually, I get a "Disk is Corrupt" message when
   some of them are accessed.).  Take the file "thea64package.lzh"
   Un-lharc it.  It failed the CRC test for me, but I could get all
   the files I needed for the .lhw version.

I think that there is something wrong with lhwarp.  I took a disk
which worked fine, and then lhwarped it.  It was screwed up when
I un-lhwarped it.
