SHA256 Checking

[Dzomlija]

I was simply curious as to whether you have any plans to include SHA256 testing for downloads?

I ask because I use IDM, and I have on some exceedingly rare occasions had a large download complete "successfully", only to discover that something went wrong, and I must try again. This happened with my Windows 11 ISO on 6 October.

So, I contacted their support, only to discover that they are not even considering SHA256 support.

In the case of downloading the Windows 11 ISO, I could have and indeed did use the hash check instruction provided by Microsoft to verify the download. Thats is how I knew that IDM messed something up.

I just figure it would be much easier to include SHA256, and indeed other hash-checking means, directly into the download manager process so that hashes can be copy/pasted before a download starts.
