[Dan Stromberg]

I wrote this script for basically this purpose:

http://dcs.nac.uci.edu/~strombrg/verify.html

It was written for verifying the correct data transfer from a suspect
source, to a suspect source, using md5 and a statistical sample of the
files transfered, with a user-specified sampling rate.  :)

HTH.
