Hi, that's the approach I take. Use a random number generator seeded =20
with the filename for example. Pick some 100KB parts from those big =20
files and compare them with 'checksum. Repeat until you find the first =20
difference. The chances that you will hit the difference is quite high =20
if you always include the first and last 100KB.
