Well then you have downloaded the file then to check the md5sum then
haven't you? :-P

I don't see any use in that unless you set up some function to parse the
SFV file and pull all the files from the group, as it stands now I have to
track down all the files and mark them for download anyway.

Am I missing something? The parsing the SFV file isn't too horrible an
idea I suppose, and have it check to see if all parts are present, warn if
they aren't (on the server), retry if the local copy doesn't match up in
"batch mode" 2-3 times or whatever.
