Cannot open Rockbox Utility Archive on Win7 64
painkiller:
Maybe it's a good idea to publish a checksum, so that anybody can verify if the download was OK.
This should be feasible with the RB Utility as there are not so many versions of it and they change not that often.
MD5 perhaps.

That's a bit pointless.
While it's definitely not a problem to do this (the build script in fact does also calculate the md5 sum of the created file) there are two problems:
1. Windows doesn't provide a means to calculate the md5 sum (or sha1 or whatever hash is used) so you need to get some program to do that separately.
2. the zip file format hashes the data (it does this for each file that is compressed separately so you can extract files from an archive that aren't corrupted), so if the downloaded archive is corrupt the unzip tool should tell you. Unless that unzip tool ignores those hashes.
So I really don't see anything gained here. If the unzip tool messes things up providing hashes for the download file won't help.
