DownloadHashVerifier Portable

Made as the portable counterpart of DownloadHashVerifier, this is a simple-to-use and effective software solution that allows you to verify the hashes of downloaded files to make sure they're valid. It features just a few basic settings that can be seamlessly configured.

Since there is no setup pack involved, you can drop the program files to any part of the hard drive and just click the executable to launch DownloadHashVerifier. Otherwise, you can save it to a pen drive or other removable storage unit, in order to run it on any PC effortlessly and without having to install anything beforehand.

What's more, unlike most installers, it doesn't modify Windows registry settings or create extra files on the disk without your permission, thus leaving no traces behind after its removal.

The GUI is represented by a single window with a straightforward look that provides direct access to all available options. You can use the file browser or drag-and-drop method to point out the download file, as well as type or paste the MD5 or SHA256 checksum to compare it to, in order to find out whether the two values match or not, therefore if the files are identical.

The results show the file name, selected hash method, original and generated hash, along with the result of verification, and this information can be saved to an external file after indicating the output directory, name and format.

We have not encountered any unpleasant scenarios in our tests, thanks to the fact that the tool didn't hang, crash or pop up error messages. Its impact on computer performance is minimal, since it runs on low CPU and RAM. Taking everything into account, we can say that DownloadHashVerifier delivers a fast and simple solution to checking the MD5 or SHA256 signature of a file.
