Quickly, you could just do:

# md5sum filename

and then compare that against the md5 checksum that's listed on the server 
for the file.

disclaimer: md5 checksums only prove that the files are in all probability 
the same, but there's still an ever-so-slight chance of them being 
different.. cept I don't think that such a case has ever happened 
anyway :)
