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.
