Dear Customer, here are some tips to navigate you through the data package for your reference.

3. Tips

• Data hyperlink
  Click on items with hyperlink, corresponding files or folders will be opened directly. Please make sure you download all files without changing their directories, otherwise hyperlinks will be invalid. Part 2 is a summary of all released files.

• Data integrity check
  An MD5 checksum is a 32-character hexadecimal number that is computed on a file. If two files have the same MD5 checksum value, it is highly probable that the two files are the same. It is generally used to check data integrity.
  In Linux or Mac system, the following command could be used directly to check MD5(If md5sum command is not available, please follow the manual inside the MD5.zip package to install.):
      $ md5sum -c MD5.txt    (it may take a while)
  For Windows users, "MD5-win.exe" can be used by following the MD5-manual.pdf.

  Attention:
  Usually "OK" will be printed out, which means all files are downloaded completely. "FAILED" may be displayed while failed downloading or decompression.
  "Failed" downloading may be caused by disconnection or abortion of Internet. Please re-download with a stable network.
  "Failed" decompression may occur even though downloading is successful. This may be caused by long path. Change your download path to a short one like "D:\" and unzip again.
