Some of us clamav users are behind rather substantial proxies and can't pull

It's nice to have a place to download them.  Just FYI.

sorry, but in that case these problems needs to be solved with the fools of admins (or that admins replaced) responsible for only one part of the infrastructure, blocking anything for security reasons and then at the same time blocking update sof security software which is just pervert

on the clamav.net website

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.

Sorry if this had been proposed before, nothing showed up in my search.

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
