A fast and simple method to check whether the downloaded file is corrupt
is to calculate checksums, e.g. md5 or sha - corresponding programs should
be available on most Unix/ Linux systems. It depends, however, on York
calculating the checksum and putting it next to the actual archive for
downloading.
