A program to calculate the CRC-32, MD5, or SHA-1 hash value for a file. It is implemented as a shell extension, i.e. right-click on a file, in Windows Explorer, to calculate the hash value for a file. It’s that simple!

Thanks Rado354. It's an appreciated addon. The program -afaik- is still the easiest way to check wheter the download was correct.

The program has been updated: HashOnClick V2.2.1.0 (February 2009)

Can you please update your addon?

[rado354]

I'm testing it right now, if everything is OK the addon will be released soon.

There are quite a few hash checkers available around. I'm not sure this is the best one.

I'm open for suggestions on better ones. This is how I use it now, when I want to download a file:

1. copy the MD5 provided to the clipboard;

2. download the file;

3. right click on the downloaded file

4. click on Calculate hash, MD5

5. HashOnCLick reports if the hash matches the one on the clipboard.

If you know about a hash checker that can do ithe checking in less steps, please advise

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried it. Imho it's more difficult / less easy to check wheter a downloaded file matches the MD5 given.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've tried it. Imho it's more difficult / less easy to check wheter a downloaded file matches the MD5 given.

1. Copy the MD5 provided to the clipboard

2. Download the file

3. Right-click on the downloaded file and select Properties

4. Click on Checksums tab

5. Paste the hash into the Find box; if it matches, the hash will be highlighted, and if it doesn't, it will tell you that it can't find the string

Same number of steps. Okay, so there's an extra click and a paste, but you get a lot more flexibility and functionality with HashCheck, like being able to create and open .sfv/.md5 files. And as a bonus, it's much faster and smaller, too.

Maybe it's because I'm used to it, or because tastes are personal

I still hope Rado354 will release the updated HashOnClick V2.2.1.0
