How to verify the Checksum values with downloaded files

Checksum values are given in the following link for downloading Eclipse IDE:

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/technology/epp/downloads/release/indigo/R/eclipse-j开发者_JS百科ee-indigo-win32.zip

I guess I can verify my download with the Checksum. Please anyone explain me how can I verify my download with the Checksum given.

You generate a checksum of the downloaded file on your local machine and compare it to the checksum on the website.

If you are on a windows environment I suggest that you use winMd5sum to create the MD5 checksum on your local machine.

From a file explorer you can right-click on the downloaded file and "send to" winMd5Sum and then compare.

On linux I think most distros have a build-in md5sum batch command. You can use it like this:

md5sum <filename>

and compare result with the checksum on the website.

The calculation of MD5 checksums on large files can take some time.
