What is the checksum value for kubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso?

Question

Running WinMD5Free v1.20 said it's not matching current 8d8413fe8d7ca81bdab86180e8d5386e

The checksum is specified here on https://kubuntu.org/alternative-downloads/ — Shreyash S Sarnayak, Aug 9, 2017 at 15:53
Yours is correct from 8d8413fe8d7ca81bdab86180e8d5386e *kubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso as found here — George Udosen, Aug 9, 2017 at 15:57
Please run this from terminal md5sum kubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso — George Udosen, Aug 9, 2017 at 16:05
I don't trust that WinMD5Free v1.20 mine came back ok using md5sum command! — George Udosen, Aug 9, 2017 at 16:10

I don't know much about WinMD5Free v1.20 but Ubuntu flavoured linux come with the md5sum command to check these things. To check please do:

md5sum  kubuntu-16.04.3-desktop-amd64.iso

Then compare it to the official MD5SUM here

I ran mine on md5sum kubuntu-17.04-desktop-amd64.iso and it corresponded with that found here

Since your testing it on Windows use the CertUtil inbuilt tool like so:

CertUtil -hashfile C:\TEMP\MyDataFile.iso MD5

George, I was going with v16 due to it being more stable. I have been away from UNIX for 14 yrs. Did start in 1987 Looking forward to getting to know Kubuntu. Thank you for all your help
