It's easy if you know there's a reason to run such a program. But if I were to download The Three Musketeers (for instance) from here, I'd assume that it was the same text as on Project Gutenberg. I could easily check that it was, of course, but I wouldn't actually bother to check unless I had reason to believe that it was necessary.
