I have seen tests of the actual downloaded files, i.e., where you subtract the contents of the source file from the transferred file to determine whether there are any differences in those files. With bit perfect, this operation will sum to 0. I think you’re just not comfortable with the technology. That’s ok, but you might want to do a little more research if you want to understand this more fully. Maybe a course at a local community college? If you’re retired, like me, it’s a great way to learn new stuff. (I took a ton of advanced math in college, like multivariate calculus, differential equations, etc., but never took any physics, even in high school; I’m thinking of picking that up at my local community college this year for kicks.). In another lifetime - 40 years ago! - I programmed early computers that ran nuclear power plants and electrical power plants. Scary for those who know me, but still, pretty helpful for understanding some of the basics.
