Re: [users] Md5 checksum

[Joseph B. Roth]

Md5sum is a program used to calculate a check sum on a file. If your 
downloading a file there is usually a txt file (usually of the same name as 
the file but with the .txt extension) at the download site with the 
alpha-number in it. When you download the file you want, run an md5sum.exe 
(for windows) program on the downloaded file and compare that alpha-number 
to the one on the download site. They should match, if not you didn't get a 
good download.

Do a google on 'md5sum' to find a program. There are several out there free 
for the downloading with instructions.
