I wonder if maybe only a small handful of people actually do a checksum verification on the downloaded iso images.
This gets my vote. I think I did that once in the past decade. I always download isos with wget, and trust it to give me a perfect clone of the hosted file, including its parent's displayed timestamp (±TZ offset).
I always check. But I do it by using metalinks with "aria2c --check-integrity=true" It probably affects more people with slot internet connections (just a guess). In the old times I had to interrupt the download, which could take hours to complete. Metalinks were a godsend for us. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.3 x86_64 at Telcontar)
