First of all, this is the wrong list please post future questions to
the 'questions@FreeBSD.org' mailing list.
There should be an md5.exe program in the 'tools' directory of the FTP
site. From the command prompt of your Microsoft system, just type
'md5 filename' and it will spit out a checksum that you can compare to
the one given. Of course, if the file sizes aren't the same then the
MD5 certainly won't be either.
