Download Hash/Checksum Verification
-
Offer an easy way to verify the checksums of files - e.g. A little box in the download details area where you can paste an expected hash and select an algorithm, and it will show a little "tick" or something if the actual hash matches. Would be a lot faster than using the command line to check it.

Hash comparisons would be great!
As an extra reach adding GPG signatures support would be so convenient. Grab the key from the keyservers, report good / bad and signature details along with key fingerprints and details of the signer.
Automatic .asc / .sig appending to the download URL detection or allow the user to provide such a file for existing downloads.

This ability should be linked to Download Manager proposal:

I'm not even fussed about whether there is a widget to handle this.
I usually conduct manual updates (for Vivaldi Browser, the download of a new version) that I may make a file security scan and check the hash.
I've been unsuccessfully looking for the hash anywhere on, near, sneaking up on or escaping from the Download page. Is there one, for each version?
Thank you.
