I've always only seen md5sums as long strings of letters and numbers.
I'm actually just now realizing that maybe they're really just a bunch
of hex pairs (?). It didn't look like a normal md5sum output to me
before, but now that I look at it closer, they are identical strings
of characters, but the strings themselves are not identical. md5sum -c
<file> on Linux did not work in this case.

What are you using to look at them?

Thanks.
