Sebagai contoh kita akan mendownload ISO ArchLinux
wget http://suro.ubaya.ac.id/archlinux/iso/2014.02.01/archlinux-2014.02.01-dual.iso
setelah selesai di download, download nilai MD5-nya
wget http://suro.ubaya.ac.id/archlinux/iso/2014.02.01/md5sums.txt
lalu jalankan
md5sum -c md5sums.txt
hasilnya
archlinux-2014.02.01-dual.iso: OK
md5sum: archlinux-bootstrap-2014.02.01-i686.tar.gz: No such file or directory
