+###   It first checks if the signature passes, and then downloads the files specified in
+###   the file, and checks if the hashes of these files match those that are specified
+###   in the signature file.
+###   The script returns 0 if everything passes the checks. It returns 1 if either the
+###   signature check or the hash check doesn't pass. If an error occurs the return value is 2
