I wanted to try linux mint on my computer so I downloaded the iso file from the official website https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=217 via torrent.
The computer I used to download it runs windows 10. Now I want to verify the integrity of the iso file, but the instructions in the website https://linuxmint.com/verify.php don't seem to apply for my case (being a windows owner).
I know that before linux used to provide with the value of the md5 checksum, but from what I see that is no longer available. I could generate md5, sha-1, sha-256 and sha-512 using a windows utility. However, I don't know where to find the correct values to compare them. Using both mirrors or torrent, I could only download the iso file. Theer were no sha256sum.txt or sha256sum.txt.gpg files along with it.
What would you suggest for this case?
Answer
I accessed the mirror, chose the stable branch, klicked on "18" and found the sha256sum.txt and the corresponding gpg file sha256sum.txt.gpg.

You should definetily check them out yourself, but know you can compare them with PsFCIV
