If you look in that directory, you will see a file
"md5sums-7.1" and if you look inside that file you will see the line
644c64f905e4db4f80ce4c419548f1d4  mandrake71-inst.iso

If you now run the command "md5sum mandrake71-inst.iso" it should provide
the same number.
If it does, you've downloaded the file correctly. If it doesn't, you
haven't.

Always a good thing to check the md5sums whenever you have downloaded
anything, if they are available.
