Remember, you're downloading PDF files through Tor, and unless
you verify each file through checksum verification (like MD5 or
GPG) there's a chance they could've been trojaned ...

MD5 has been known to be cryptographically broken for some years now. It should NEVER be used to verfiy something has not been malicously altered.
