Does fedora media writer verify the checksum of an ISO file that is downloaded manually from the web browser? Or is the option only available when the iso is downloaded from the media writer itself?
I cannot answer the question as asked because I always download the iso then verify the checksum on the command line with the checksum file I also download. I then never need to be concerned whether mediawriter itself verifies the iso image. I already know the iso sent to mediawriter has been verified.

It seems that MediaWriter will do the same md5 check as you can do when booting it.
