Hello,
I'm sick of coping the checksum of important files by hand or QR-code
to the download manager or console.
To solve the problem I suggest a checksum attribute in the <a href>
tag.
example: <a href="http://example.com/important.file"
checksum="MD5:32c3675211199b671fbca1304d819289;SHA1:6e1ddeede3979c953788a3499616af35ee5fd772">download</a>
Another advantage is that your visitors (browser) can verify that the
document (e.g. a pdf) you linked to is still the same.
