Awesum - Graphical Checksum Verifier

Awesum is a graphical checksum verification utility. It is written in Python and uses the PyGTK toolkit. Awesum is very easy to use and includes support for both MD5 and SHA checksum algorithms. Unlike many checksum verification utilities, Awesum features a progress bar which makes working with large files (such as CD-ROM ISO images) much more bearable.
