    Hello Russ and all:

    After reading about one difficulty with the XPSP2 download of the
    update, I'm thinking of suggesting MD5 hash includes with Microsoft's
    downloads.

    To that end, here is the hash for SP2. It was arrived at by comparing
    six different downloads with Luke Pascoe's md5summer. We have a very
    fat pipe
    at work and each download only took far less than one minute.

    # MD5 checksums generated by MD5summer (http://www.md5summer.org)
    # Generated 8/11/2004 7:35:45 AM

    59a98f181fe383907e520a391d75b5a7 *WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe

    Other companies are doing this. Should MS include md5 checksums?

    Pete
