hi, sometimes when I download a file off of Internet the file is corrupted and and I can't check them all one by one to find out which one is corrupted

Is there a easy way to find out which file is corrupted ?

most legitimate sites have SHA256 file signatures for you to compare your downloaded version with the one on their site. you can download any software in the internt that can do that for you. like for example my favorite ZIP tool 7zip. includes a drop down menu to do it instantly.

OR you can use powershell in the command console.
Get-Filehash -path c:\downloads\something.exe -algorithm SHA256 | fl
