SHA256 checksums missing for downloads
The Sourceforge-based downloads offered various checksums for downloadable packages as per this forum post https://musescore.org/en/node/43896
Currently we are offered a SHA256 checksum after starting a download. If you do not make a note of this checksum, the only way to get it, is to start the download again.
Would it not make sense to get the checksums in the FTP site?

(I will log an Issue
Usage cases
1) Users can verify the checksums when downloading from the ftp site.
2) The maintainers of 3rd party installers that use the official binaries like
- Homebrew (for macOS) (via Homebrew Cask) and
- Scoop (for Windows) (via Scoop Extras)
can get the checksums for the new version without having to download that version.
