Display SHA-1, MD5 or CRC-32 hashes to verify the downloaded parts
Added by
Meister_Knobi I have often troubble with downloads (Browser and Galaxy)(Bad internet) and to be sure that there are no problems with the download it would be great if gog website and/or the Galaxy Client would show me SHA-1, MD5 or CRC-32 hashes.
TheDameon Been a while since this was requested, but still not implemented. Is there a complication we're not understanding?
lookingfor I fully agree with the request.
Some offline installers offer a CRC check before installation, but not all and it requires to actually INSTALL the product.
So either a file with CRC32/MD5 codes should be made available by GOG or the installer should contain a button to check the files WITHOUT the need to install.
Both should be fairly simple to achieve but would help immensely.
uchristensen It would be very helpful when downloading multiple offline installers to be able to verify downloads en masse. I'd be sorely unhappy if the games I downloaded for offline storage/backup have errors.
African_wildlife GOG should display both most common and secure hash algorithms.
African_wildlife @Haringat Being able to verify downloaded files. A very important feature, data on a hard drive can become corrupted.
Haringat The installer already tells you when a part has an error (and which one) so where exactly is the need in this?
