This program doesn't simply check file integrity, it also lets you restore files that have been damaged using data redundancy. While very useful for archive purposes, users should realize this ADDS a percentage of data to the archive. A 1.5 gig archive took up 422 megs with default settings.
A similar, much more widely used and cross-platform technology is PAR2 (www.par2.net). There is so far no portable version.
@Webfork: www.par2.net is gone -- at least, where PAR (Parity Archive) info is concerned.
