I've wondered this for quite a while but why isn't there a standard for browsers like <a href="bigassfile" checksumhref="checksumhrefforbigassfile" checksumalgo="shashamd19">Download with check</a> I mean no one ever checks them anyways so it's not like they're useful. The second step would to be to provide a reputable repo of software version -> checksum lookups so I didn't have to trust a given server for that. This is me thinking and drinking and I'd love comments.
