Where did this installer actually come from?
Search “download VLC” and the first results are ads and mirrors that repackage the file. For 177 desktop programs, file.wiki publishes the download URL the publisher declares, the SHA-256 hash of every installer, and the command to check it yourself. We host nothing and rewrite nothing.
Every field comes from Microsoft's winget-pkgs manifests and the Homebrew cask index. Each page links back to its source so you can check our work.
