Dijjer verifies the .md5 files, and also has a separate "on-the-fly"
verification mechanism described here:

The other concern I have is that I suspect you'd need to have Dijjer
running and uploading artifacts. Since a great deal of users are in
corporate envs, this is not going to be realistic.
Dijjer does work through most firewalls, so I'm not sure why it
wouldn't be realistic. Note also that the *entire* Dijjer network
contributes towards downloading files, not just those specific peers
that are doing the downloading.
