Why do I need to compare the
MD5 and SHA1 file digests?


Tiger Privacy 

Because it's possible for someone to make it look like you downloaded one file when you actually have downloaded another file. And, that other file could be a trojan, or a virus, or spyware.

A file digest is a quick way to check that a file is right.

First, calculate the digests for the file you downloaded on your system. Then, verify that those digests match the ones at Tiger Privacy.
