[LAU] md5sum verification

I downloaded Dynebolik, and this has put 2 files in the directory I created
for it.
dyne-2.4.2.iso
dyne-2.4.2.iso.md5

I cd'd to the directory and ran md5sum, as below.

[djmons@email-addr-hidden djmons]$ cd Downloads/Dynebolik
[djmons@email-addr-hidden Dynebolik]$ md5sum dyne-2.4.2.iso
7526f6228ce60265f830304cd2275c7e dyne-2.4.2.iso
[djmons@email-addr-hidden Dynebolik]$

Question! Is this verifying that the download is ok? It's providing the
md5sum, but is it verifying that the download of Dynebolik matches the md5
sum file that was also downloaded.

I admit that I've always been a bit confused about verifying packages like
this.

Any suggestions or help appreciated.

Nigel.
