Sometimes, people with unstable or slow Internet connection may need this feature to check their downloads whether be exactly same as server's. In addition, if something goes wrong during the image flashing, people also can use this feature to help them find the root cause. They should check the md5sum of their downloads first. If they match with server's, at least, people know the image files are good, then they can continue to check the other parts. In a word, because the Internet environment is complex and different, people need md5sum to ensure their downloads are 100% same as server's, and this check should be the first thing to do after download.
