If nothing else you can go here and download the matching MD5SUM or SHA512SUM files: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/6.0.5/amd64/iso-cd/ Then to verify them against your downloaded images: $ md5sum -c MD5SUMS $ sha512sum -c SHA512SUM To verify the sum file itself using the gpg signature. $ gpg MD5SUM.sign $ gpg SHA512SUM.sign Bob
