the mp3 'scene' uses sfv...it's sort of a 'standard' ... seems to be more of a tradition thing than anything ...
a quick google found
this link which doesn't say much more than that ...
... I'm not sure if sfv processing is also perhaps quicker (on the glftpd servers where most of these 'proper' releases are distrib'd).
dunno ... hksfv (and assumably? any good sfv checker) also does md5, so I'd say, for in this case, go ahead and md5 if that makes you happy.
it makes me happy that you simply care at all
