er Marcos, you ask if what you did was safe.  The answer is: No!  THe  
purpose of the checksum is : by comparing the checksum computed by  
the sender with the one computed by the receiver of the file, learn  
if the file was received intact.  In your case, it told you the file  
was corrupted. Your response was to suppress the warning. :) So no,  
it aint safe ;)  Id advise you to take Tonys advice post haste. good  
luck :)
