SHA-256 checksum
Hash a local file so you can compare it to a published checksum.
Files over 80 MB are refused. SHA-1 and MD5 are not offered.
Hash a file you already have and compare the SHA-256 value with the one published beside a download. Files over 80 MB are refused. SHA-1 and MD5 are not offered. A match means the bytes match. It does not mean you trust the publisher.
