Version:           2.2.2 (using KDE 4.2.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs

It would be useful if we could verify a downloaded file in kget.

Maybe it could be done with an entry in the right click menu called "verify this download", that could trigger a dialogue with some radio button to chose between md5 or sha1 for example, and a text field to paste the checksum taken from the web or a file selection button to point to the checksum file downloaded previously.

After we've inserted the requested infos, it should display a window with a progress bar and the results of the check.

Maybe it could be also somehow "smart", and if we are downloading  a file called big-file.iso together with its md5 sum control file big-file.iso.md5, it should get automatically the needed infos, from that file, without asking us anything.

All that is supported in trunk now.
md5 is always supported, other types (sha1, sha256 etc.) when KGet is compiled with QCA support.

The ChecksumSearch-Plugin searches for checksums according to predefined (modifiable) patterns.
