Hello again.

I think there are some issues when using Base64 checksum for filenames.
- They look weird/ugly with random cases an  '_' and '-' characters
  mixed in
- On cases insensitive filesystems mixed case names may cause
  problems (e.g. undetected name collisions)

Base32 is a better choice IMO because it is single case and does not generate disruptive characters like '_', '-' or '/'.

Here are two patches that replace Base64 with Base32.

Please review.

Kind regards,
-Sebastian
