CRC

Cyclic Redundency Check - Used as error DETECTION technique. The data bits are devided by a separate binary number. Upon delivery, they should be exactly devisible by the pre-determined binary number. If the remainer is not 0, the data is screwed / has been altered.

I downloaded this file, but the CRC detected an error. This file is not 100% the same as the original file.
