Automating checksum, signature verification & mirror usage for TortoiseSVN downloads

Hi,

You can use Metalinks for your downloads to automate mirror usage
along with checksum & signature verification. Metalinks are an XML
format that include all this & other info.

Over 35 apps & projects like OpenOffice.org, openSUSE, Ubuntu, &
others use Metalinks. There's a nice Firefox Addon called DownThemAll!
[1], or Metalink Checker [2], a command line downloader in Python that
verifies signatures. This can also be made transparent for downloaders
with TCN.

I've attached a sample .metalink, minus chunk checksums, but the files
are here (these only include 1 SF mirror but you could add all of
them).
