 {{{
 Hello.

 I questioned this in the #fedora IRC channel first, and was advised to
 mail
 you, so here I am.

 Basically, the SHA1SUM files (e.g.
 http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Fedora/i386/iso/SHA1SUM)
 are generated using text mode (sha1sum -t, since on Unix it's the
 default).
 So if I try to verify the sums with the Windows port of sha1sum, it tries
 to
 open the ISOs in text mode, which leads to check failing.

 Hence, suggestion: generate future SHA1SUMs with `sha1sum -b` instead.

 Regards,
 Roman.
