So it does, thanks.  I would never have thought to look way at the 
bottom of that page for such a link.

The HowToMD5SUM page is dished out all the time on the forums to users 
who sound like they have bad downloads or disc burns, and it links 
directly to UbuntuHashes.  There is a note at the bottom of the page 
about adding info about MD5SUMS.gpg, but has not been implemented on the 
wiki.

Most people never even get to the releases subdomain page, their 
downloads start automatically from the main download site, so they won't 
even see that file unless they really know to look for it.

That's a good note to make, you may want to expand on it there and/or on 
the HowToMD5SUM page.

Thanks for the feedback.
