Looking at the image on the link, the "checksums" are a suspicious 32 characters... Hoping you guys are not using md5sums.

Am I missing something, or would this let any node (supernode/browser) in the system potentially replace arbitrary content with their own content? [1]

Hopefully JS isn't being served by this mechanism (attack vector pretty obvious there), but even images are still a concern [2] [3].
