So back to my personal project of downloading assorted Linux iso files. 
Finding the checksums sometimes isn't easy.  For example, go to ww.debian.org
In the upper right is a box, "Download Debian 8.3"
Click on the box and it starts downloading 
  debian-8.3.0-amd64-i386-netinst.iso
But where is the file with the checksums for that particular file?
