Downloads failing silently #105

After repeatedly running into the issues of assets being not bootable i took a closer look and realized that some assets are almost impossible to be downloaded from their Github URL. For example https://github.com/netbootxyz/asset-mirror/releases/download/250801-a96201bb/desktopfs.sfs failed took 5 attempts to download successfully (with wget).
The worst part of it, that while trying to download the asset via netboot.xyz there was no way to find out the download actually failed. The file is reported as downloaded, but unless i try to download the file manually to check its size its not possible to find out its incomplete.

Maybe a verification of local assets could be introduced, to check the checksum of the downloaded files and avoid frustrating scenarios like this.
