Hi Abaris!
I will quote myself:

the download prog receives these results, sorts them into version categories and filters out erroneous files (corrupted or altered [virused?] files).
I did take this into consideration. I really like your idea of uniquely tagging installers (w/digital signatures) so that fakes cannot be made as easily. Unfortunately, any key like that can probably be reproduced, and so altered files could still be mistaken as legit ones.
