shows the same MD5 HASH calculation you obtain before upload. You can now be
comfortable the TDF mirrors are distributing exactly what you posted. And of
course if they were not, you'd need to correct with another upload attempt
until it is received correctly.

here is the results of the md5sum command for the ISO file I uploaded to
the server admin.
