@ Kai Blin, 
it should be made clear that testing with an external USB drive is not at all a 
reliable test. I've got through _several_ USB drives that systematically 
corrupted large files regardless to the HardDisk, filesystem and host computer 
used. This happens especially with large capacity harddisks plugged into cheap 
usb controllers (although that also happened to me once with an average one).

@Starcraftmazter
since the MD5 sum as all other hashes are conceived to ensure files have not 
been tampered with or corrupted it would _definitely_ change if you edit them! 
The hash file (read MD5/SHA, etc) HAVE TO change after you edit the file! 
Otherwise you would have been so lucky to have found a weakness in the hash 
algorithm.
