This is a checksum that allows you to verify the correctness of the
downloaded file. Sometimes during download of large files even over
connections that should be considered to be 'clean' you may get bitten
by a few corrupted bits. You use it simply by running

  # ~> md5sum <filename>

and compare the result with the bublished checksum,
