"Bloatware in the downloader"
Version: MD5 Checker 2.31
Pros
Seems like a good program after uninstalling the bloatware. Hope I found it all!!!
Cons
Bloatware in the installer. Check your Browser Add-ins if you use it even if you tell it not to install anything.
Summary
I expected better from CNET. My opinion of them just took a nosedive.

"a better program"
Version: MD5 Checker 2.31
Pros
It works most of the time.
Cons
It lacks many features I want.
Summary
I also use HashCopy and found it is much better. HashCopy can copy and verify a folder recursively. It can handle hundreds of thousands files in one operation. I used to copy a folder that contains about 200,000 files with a total size of over 1 terabytes. It took 16 hours to finish. HashCopy can be downloaded from www.jdxsoftware.org.

"Crashes on run"
Version: MD5 Checker 2.31
Pros
It is free! It also works on occasion.
Cons
The program crashes and freezes
Summary
I'm running XP and wanted to check a few downloads for authenticity. I downloaded this, and ran it, and followed the directions. They should tell you to not run the MD5 checker against the app unless you make a copy of it, run the copy, and check the md5.exe... Otherwise, the program crashes because the file is open.
However, the author says it can check files over 2GB. I had no luck. I've got a 4.5GB file, and about a third of the way through checking it the progress bar stopped. 5 minutes later I ended the task. -
"Aborted D/l & Install Because of CNET Downloader"
Version: MD5 Checker 2.31
Pros
Never really found out.
Cons
I gave up on my attempt to install the MD5 checker because the only download I could find was Cnet's own Download Manager. That's the last thing I want - ANOTHER HELPFUL DOWNLOADER!
Summary
So I gave up downloading/installing; I may never visit Cnet again.
In fact, I doubt that I will. -

"nice little freebie"
Version: MD5 Checker 2.31
Pros
Nothing to learn, easy to use. Free
Cons
none that I have found.
Summary
I've only used this program a few times, but never had a problem. It does what is should, does not have to be 'installed', as it is standalone. Recommended.
