Cinch

A project to develop a bulk download service to a central repository that will maintain original file timestamps, virus check, extract file level metadata, create file checksums and periodically validate checksums for continued file integrity. Users merely need to upload a list of URLs to download and when the process completes they can download the requested files and file metadata to their local environment. Funding for the CINCH: Capture, Ingest, & Checksum tool is made possible through an IMLS Sparks! Ignition grant.
