-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Both installers were from toad's links yesterday. One earlier in the day and the second around four hours later (with a slightly different file size). Here is the MD5 generated on both files. a8f88c158cc3927cdc786b67150b86f9 and 4fb8e9ff969d7c2b0575aa370874cf89.
