Hi Mat Yes I am also using Firefox. I did the procedure you described in regards to downloading the MD5SUM.txt file. It worked. In windows 7 I don't have to type the file extension (,txt) as it defaults to .txt in the "save as type" selection box. However, I do understand your procedure as I also tend to always type in the file extensions myself. Still working your recommended procedure. Yes, probably is a lot easier in Debian :) Thank you Wally On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 11:12 AM, Mat Kovach <siddfi...@f-m.fm> wrote: > Wally Lepore writes: >> > On Thu, Sep 27, 2012 at 8:48 AM, Mat Kovach <siddfi...@f-m.fm> wrote: >> > >> > Here is what I did >> > >> > - Download a program to check MD5SUM on Windows: >> > http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/md5sums/.....
