If you want to check the integrity of the downloaded stage tarball, use -md5sum and compare the output with the MD5 checksum provided on the -mirror. +openssl and compare the output with the checksums provided on the +mirror.

+match, otherwise the downloaded file might be corrupt (or the digests file is).
