It would be a Good Thing if the Windows app vendors would post MD5 sums
alongside the download links -- at least for large files -- as is common
practice over in the Linux side of things.

FWIW, my connection here is usually pretty clean and the 4.11 I just
downloaded installed OK. The checksum is

FA53F89BCD6430F6B3F610FCD84044C6 eagle-4.11e.exe

If you don't have md5sum, here's one place to get a Windows binary,
along with a usage summary. I think there are GUI-ized versions, too.
