Description
I believe that you need to add installers file checksums to download page. This will make it possible to check the files after download.
Thank you!

Alternatively: it could be part of a verification process during uploading the release files. There were some issues with uploading the wrong installers in recent releases, but the hashes could be computed beforehand, then copy-pasted onto the website after verifying the results on SourceForge.

Hmm, not sure how important this is. It would be nice to have for sure, but the information is available here http://sourceforge.net/projects/zero-ad/files/releases/ for those who are interested (just click on the (i) icon). The risk with putting it on the download pages is that it would be one more thing that would have to be updated with each new release -- and in other words you'd risk someone forgetting to update it which would mean we'd have an inaccurate checksum. And imho that would be worse than not having one at all.
It could of course be done with a script, but then it would either have to be run each time the page is loaded (which feels a bit unnecessary for something that's only updated every 2-4 months) or have to be run at a new release (which would have the same drawback as doing it manually -- someone has to do it = it might be missed).
