md5sum - compute and check MD5 message digest

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ dd if=/dev/urandom of=/tmp/md5src count=512 
512+0 records in
512+0 records out
262144 bytes (262 kB) copied, 0.041335 s, 6.3 MB/s
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~ $ md5sum /tmp/md5src
966019983a079e2bf03566d1f0eca061  /tmp/md5src

if you want to verify your own download, you could download the file
here:
http://spore.ath.cx/~dan/md5src
and check to see if you get the same checksum.
