Multiple coders and general public might have had a need for an MD5 checksum added to the blender versions download pages.

Last year I committed code for game_engine_publishing.py The add-on automatically downloads blender archives for multiple OS types under the same blender version (e.g.: blender 2.76b for windows, mac and linux on ix86 and x86_64). This enables users to compile their game for multiple platforms with a single button click.

Reason
I found out that if there is a connection drop while downloading archives, we have no way of telling if it's corrupted or not.
This is why I think an MD5 checksum might be of great help.

Solution
Adding a new column called "MD5" or "MD5 checksum" to http://download.blender.org/release/BlenderX.XX/

Example

Name	Last Modified	MD5	Size	Type
blender-2.76b-linux-glibc211-x86_64.tar.bz2	2015-Nov-04 09:56:13	e588925227f699cc93b62bc00eb58916	96.6M	application/x-gtar-compressed

That's more a feature request than a bug actually.

However, we'll indeed start doing md5 sums for the release starting with 2.77 release. For older releases you can simply compare file size you actually got and the one reported by server.

What if I take the step forward and create all the md5 checksums for all the files (for completion's sake) ?
