1. What is hkSFV?1. What is hkSFV?
hkSFV is the simply the easiest and most automatic way to create or check SFV and MD5 files. It is free, fast, small, and carefully designed to be as intuitive and attractive as possible.
2. What is an .SFV?
An .SFV file is a tiny list of files and CRCs, which allow you to check to see if the files you have downloaded are exactly what you are expecting. The CRC algorithm used in .SFV files allows you to see if the file you have has been changed, even a single byte, since the .SFV file was created.
3. What is an .MD5?
In a sense, .MD5 did not exist until now, as md5sum is a popular Unix format similar to .SFV and Unix does not use file extensions the way Windows based systems do. .MD5 uses the md5 algorithm to compute its checksums, rather than the crc32 method used by .SFV. The md5 algorithm is almost as fast as crc32, but it is much more accurate at detecting changes in files.

Obviously, the "fingerprint" section is the Alpha-Numeric code.d16aa75fadcd054e78f715f6c53c42b7 *Unwritten Law - 01 - Elva - Mean Girl.mp3
