Description
It might be useful to have support for metalink for downloads. The good thing on it is that it can include checksums and PGP signature for automated checking. The bad thing is that there doesn't seem to be client to implement PGP verification, so we're only back to checksums (and SHA-256 is mostly not supported as well).
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalink
This really needs decision whether it's worth of the effort.
