Frequently Asked Questions

Why don't I get an email when my uploads fail MD5 checksums?

Internet Archive Frequently Asked Questions
The system currently only sends emails when MD5 files are included. This means that, if you're uploading FLAC files, you still need to generate and include an MD5 file if you want to receive informational emails about the failures. A recommended tool for creating these files is MD5summer. Please note that before uploading the MD5 created with this tool you should open the MD5 in a text editor and remove the top 3 lines so the first signature is now flush with the top of the file.

I just uploaded a directory that contained WAV MD5 checksums, is that OK?

Internet Archive Frequently Asked Questions
The WAV MD5 checksums are ignored by our robot. Do not worry if you see that the WAV MD5 checksums fail, the shows will be imported as soon as possible.

I just uploaded a show and all the files fail the MD5 check, what's the deal?

Internet Archive Frequently Asked Questions
Check to make sure the FTP program you used to upload the files is set to "binary" mode. If you try to upload .shn or .flac files in "ASCII" mode the files will fail the MD5 check. ASCII is the standard format for encoding plain text files (actually a subset of binary), while binary is used to encode almost all other types of files. More information on binary vs. ASCII can be found here. If this does not solve the problem, be sure that all the file names in the MD5 file match the .

What are the WAV MD5 files that are sometimes in filesets?

Internet Archive Frequently Asked Questions
MD5 checksums files are not exclusive to SHN files. An MD5 checksum can be used to ensure the accuracy of any data file (e.g. .doc, .mp3, .mpeg). Some seeders produce MD5 checksums for their WAV files, as well as for their SHN files. This is just an extra level of confirm to ensure exact copies of the original WAV files are being burned from the SHN files. Checking a WAV file with a MD5 cheksum is no different than checking a SHN file.

What is MD5?

PGP DH vs. RSA FAQ
MD5 is a hash function by Ron Rivest [RFC1321]. It is an enhanced version of the MD4 hash function (MD4 has been totally broken [RSA98]). MD5 has been included in PGP since inception, but has recently been deprecated due to several security concerns (see section "Has MD5 been broken?"). MD5 seems to have been a catalyst for the changes that we have seen post PGP v2.x.

Where can I get the Perl MD5 module from?

Webmin
The Webmin Users and Groups module supports the encryption of passwords with the MD5 algorithm, if your system supports it. However, this depends on the Perl MD5 module, which can be downloaded from http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/MD5/MD5-1.7.tar.gz. Once downloaded, enter the following commands to install the module : gunzip MD5-1.7.tar.gz If you are using Webmin 0.83 or above, an even easier option is to use the Perl Modules module to make and install the MD5 module from CPAN.

How are checksums calculated?

FAQ's about device programmers,
Since the result is in a word, the checksum is a 4-digit HEX number. Any carryovers are discarded. This method of handling checksum is deemed sufficient for most customers and is convenient to copy, save and read by a human being. Our Windows-based software Captain accumulates the result in a double word, the resultant checksum has 8 digits. It is displayed as, say, 12A0 27FC. If you would prefer to use the 4-digit checksum method, you can simply ignore the leading 4 digits and keep just 27FC.
