Well, then I suggest that this fact should be stated somewhere in the MI-install
documents. It's just a couple of lines, but it will save a lot of beginners
headaches, when they know how to find out if a downloaded file is corrupt. And 
it
will save us reading the questions over and over again. And if people don't read
the install docs, we can at least refer them to the docs to find out.

Thanx again,
