However there are md5 sums which will tell you whether the file downloaded correctly. The page that lists these md5 values can be found here (make sure you select the correct one for the version of OOo & platform that you have): http://download.openoffice.org/2.0beta/md5sums.html If your unsure about md5 then have a look at the links on the page and search the web. After all that however, if you are using OOo then it could be assumed that installation (and therefore the downloaded file) are correct and checking the md5 is not required. The final choice is yours.
