How can I use the MD5 checksum that's provided on the download page?

don't believe it has anything to do with the torrent.. i've downloaded and installed and am seeding without it?

No it has nothing to do with the BitTorrent, it's there I believe to allow people to check the integrity of their download, especially when their installer doensn't seem to work, as in the case of the OP. I googled for a utility to try to do just this but haven't yet been able to use the checksum

My previous statements about having a good installer are hereby inoperative.
I could have sworn it worked, but I must have not checked all the way.
The MD5's didn't match. I had to run ryzom_recover and got it to launch
but saw checksum errors while it checked for files to patch. I'm doing the direct download.
More on this later after I get home from work.

lol Thanks Gil, you made me think straight. I have become so lazy and used to GUIs I was expecting the utility to compare one checksum with another for me and say "Verified - file okay" Now I find my MD5 doesn't match either

You can open the EXE file with WinRAR and run the test function

Hey,

After a while of seaching through the downloaded file I managed to pull a installer file from it.. Just clicking on the downloaded file doesnt do anything, by going through My Computer > Program Files etc there is a installer file.
Thanks alot for all your help, I am now happily playing SoR.

Again, thanks alot.
