No, this is not right. If you are building packages yourself, then you should
have a custom setup.ini to match, example:

http://matzeri.altervista.org/x86_64

so that in any case, setup.ini has the final say of what a correct archive is,
via the SHA512. If a file in the local repo doesnt match either because:

- file size 0
- file size less than proper size because of interrupted download
- SHA mismatch because of custom build

said file should be removed and redownloaded by setup.exe. if you are building
custom archives, then you should also be making custom setup.ini.
