You can say that again! It's only ever mentioned in the Linux download 
instructions. There's no reference to it for Mac or Windows. The worst part 
about the current setup is that even if a person that's running Windows or Mac 
reads the instructions word-for-word they still will have no idea that there is 
anything available to ensure that the file they want to download isn't 
molested. How can we expect newbies to take security precautions when the 
methods aren't well-explained, and sometimes aren't explained at all?


I tried it out using GnuPG (for Mac) to verify the offline installer .jar file, 
but I received an error: 
"Can't check signature: public key not found"

The command I typed was ->  gpg --verify [installer] [.sig]

Am I doing something wrong?
