I just went to verify my 14.04.1 downloads, and this is still an
outstanding issue.  In my opinion, the issue should be higher priority.
Don't you want your users to be proactive and security-minded, checking
the validity of their downloaded (especially if e.g. torrented) files?

Entirely unofficially, I'll list here the MD5 values I calculated for
the ISO files I just downloaded directly, via browser, from ubuntu.com.
I am not stating nor confirming that they are correct; this is simply
what I found with my own downloads.

Gunnar,

Thank you for the response.  I did subsequently find and use that,
although it is not an HTTPS delivered resource.  I also note the
availability of OpenPGP-signed hashes, although I think that is beyond
the capability of many if not the majority of mainstream Ubuntu users,
and I don't have a PGP implementation installed on the Windows computer
I'm using at the moment.

I should have been more restrained, perhaps, in adding my prior comment
to this issue.  However, with the burgeoning security concerns these
days also among the general population, I think it is helpful to
encourage and support their being as proactive as possible.  In other
words, we *want* people checking against verified trusted hashes,
delivered via HTTPS where the user is not yet comfortable with OpenPGP
and tools that implement it.

I hope I was and am not annoying here nor overly pedantic, especially
inasmuch as I am a new contributor to the conversation, here.  Again,
perhaps I should have waited longer and investigated further, first,
and/or refrained altogether from commenting.

Regards
