See #325161. Yes, I know that the patch is rather incomplete. I don't, though its an interesting idea. If it were important to me, then I would probably call md5sum (in essential package: coreutils) on the downloaded files (in a for loop, if there were that many..), and compare with the md5sums in a bash array (or perl if it was really sophisticated..).
