There are about 20 metalink download clients, from CLI to GUI, on all platforms, from download managers to Web browsers. Currently, only the cURL project includes signatures in their .metalinks and only Metalink Checker supports verifying them. Many other projects use .metalinks for their downloads. To try it out, download Metalink Checker [1]. You need gnupg or gpg4win installed for signature verification. If you haven't already imported it, import the Apache key. At the command line type: python metalink.py -d -f http://www.metalinker.org/samples/httpd-2.2.8.tar.gz.metalink You'll then see: Downloading to httpd-2.2.8.tar.gz [###################################################----] 94% 5.50/5.84 MB -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE INFORMATION----- timestamp: Thu, 10 Jan 2008 11:54:57 (Eastern Standard Time) fingerprint: 8B39757B1D8A994DF2433ED58B3A601F08C975E5 uid: Jim Jagielski -----END PGP SIGNATURE INFORMATION----- [#######################################################] 100% 5.84/5.84 MB Any comments/suggestions?
