I also get problem with the APPID RULES download.

According to logs it says:
  Downloading Snort OpenAppID RULES detectors md5 file appid_rules.tar.gz.md5…
  Checking Snort OpenAppID RULES detectors md5 file...
  There is a new set of Snort OpenAppID RULES detectors posted.

  Snort OpenAppID RULES detectors file download failed.  Snort OpenAppID RULES detectors will not be updated.

And just to make sure, I manually downloaded the http://files.pfsense.org/openappid/appid_rules.tar.gz and http://files.pfsense.org/openappid/appid_rules.tar.gz.md5
and then made a manual md5 checksum of the "appid_rules.tar.gz" and compared it to the downloaded one.

DOWNLOADED:  d4539caec45fdb0484ded9de593e0dc4
MANUAL MD5:      4a919586ee271f633a04b406b1332bf9

Exactly the same as from the pfSense.  So either someone has modified the appid_rules.tar.gz after the checksum was created
OR the appid_rules.tar.gz has been updated and someone has forgot to create a new updated md5 checksum file
or possible that the the appid file has gone corrupted.

Please correct this.

The interesting part is that the appid file and the md5 file is stored at almost the same time. only 2 min apart.

Confirmed. I have notified the developers however I don't think it will be resolved until tomorrow. Thank you for reporting the issue.

This has been the case for the past week, so I have been waiting to see if this will be corrected. So far it has not been.
