Utilitys for verifying downloads
SFV - (usefull for small files (<20MB)
pdsfv - more info & download here
Easy SFV Creator - download
MD5 - (usefull for large files
md5summer more info (& download) here
Easy MD5 Creator - download
Download MD5 v1.1.0.19 here

--= the difference between SFV & MD5 =--
FYI, MD5 uses 128 bits (SFV only 32 bits ) and has better avalanching than SFV
In english: better avalanching = even a single bit of difference will make significant impact on the output.
Now to be concrete, MD5 are used to verify large files (e.g. ISOs), while SFV is normally more than enough for eg. the 15Mb files used as standard in releases...
