Location of the checksum Info on download page

@Daniel,

There are any number of utilities for calculating the HASH value for a file. I
prefer http://www.febooti.com/products/filetweak/members/hash-and-crc/ for its
simplicity and integration with Windows shell.

The practice is to find a trusted HASH value for the file being
downloaded--LibreOffice project calculates those and posts them to the
MirrorBrain hosting service. Then links that information on the download pages.

Pick a HASH, MD5 or SHA256, are fine to use--you're just doing a quick check
that the download was complete.

Then calculate a HASH value for the downloaded file--compare its value against
what is posted for it.  If they match, you have a complete download. If the do
not match, verify that you are comparing the right HASH value and files. If so,
 download was corrupt and needs to be done again.

Stuart
