    sha256sum don't match on all dl sites' dl's

    In Windows 7, using Firefox 11, I downloaded first from tucows, then again from TechSpot, and used the HashCalc utility to return a sha256sum on both. They matched each other.
    So I rebooted from Windows 7 into PartedMagic, downloaded from TechSpot again using Firefox 11,,
    opened LXTerminal, results below match what I got in Windows.

    root@PartedMagic:~/Downloads# sha256sum iview433_setup.exe
    75910848a860a548379ef17a303cb3bd48279863eb72e7d53c 4b0792b1a7b59e iview433_setup.exe

    So I dl'd again from CNet, and got your posted results:
    root@PartedMagic:~/Downloads# sha256sum iview433_setup1.exe
    7c8af2a762278504ac671d73ce65dad42c6cab435dbda5658a 94137acf636b70 iview433_setup1.exe

    So: why do they differ?

    I look forward to using the new version ASAP. I have already removed 4.32. I've been a user and $$ contributor since ... well, a long, very long time ago! I put this on every computer I work on and tell them if it is good for them, then they should at least pop a measley $5 -$10-$15 USD. Irfan does a great job with this
    Thanks.

    Hi,

    maybe the tucows version has another toolbar or something different in the irfanview setup.

    I downloaded the english setup file from Irfan's mirror (Vienna University of Technology) and I got:

    Code:
    [stefan@politeia Downloads]$ sha256sum iview433_setup.exe 
    7c8af2a762278504ac671d73ce65dad42c6cab435dbda5658a94137acf636b70  iview433_setup.exe
