cancelling download.
- Download: Resume partial downloads if a partially

the image to be written while they are AFK.
- Download Dialog: The "Write image after downloading"
checkbox is now unchecked when the dialog is closed.

deleted anymore. If the download dialog is reopened and
there's a partially downloaded image, the download is
resumed.

# Cryptographic features of ALT Media Writer
There are two separate checksum validation processes integrated in the ALT Media Writer.
## SHA1 hash
All ALT images have a SHA1 hash assigned when created. This hash is included in the release metadata that's included in ALT Media Writer and also in the releases.json file that's provided as a part of ALT Websites and served over HTTPS.
ALT Media Writer then computes SHA1 hash of the ISO data being downloaded to check if the image is counterfeit or not.
## MD5 checksum
All ALT image files have an associated MD5 checksum for integrity purposes.
ALT Media Writer verifies this checksum right after the image is downloaded and also after the image has been written to a flash drive to verify if it has been written correctly. Note that for compressed images the checksum only applies to the compressed version of the image file, so compressed images are only checked after the download.
