We really don’t want people downloading the cvd’s through the browser directly on the website. We really want to encourage people to use Freshclam to do this.

I suggest to display checksums (MD5, SHA or both) on the website next to CVD download links on the www.clamav.net/downloads<http://www.clamav.net/downloads> page. This will provide a user with: 1) A simple way to check if files were updated since the last download. It takes time to fetch the main.cvd. I realize that this should be possible with a custom HTTP query but it's not convenient in case you're simply using a browser to get the file. 2) A quick and a standard way to validate the integrity of the file, without going into CVD internals and digital signatures.
