We really only want to take the time to compute the checksums once, then
mark something to say we've checked it and move on.

I think the use of the ".md5" file is misleading and we should probably
find a more logical approach to this but in principle checking after
download should be ok. We can always have something to enable a recheck
if the user really wanted it I guess but most of the time it will be a
waste of time.
