what is a hash check?

i just started using utorrent and i was wondering what a hash check is.

The simple answer is that it is a way of checking to make sure the data you are receiving is not corrupted.

A hash is a “fingerprint” of data unique to that data. The hash check compares that fingerprint to the reference hash (fingerprint) in the torrent and if they are different, discards the data. If they are the same, the data is accepted.
