As always there is an OpenPGP signature beside the file, e.g.
  http://files.gpg4win.org/Beta/gpg4win-2.1.1-34299-beta.exe.sig

(Instructions how to verify this can be found from 
http://www.gpg4win.org/package-integrity.html)

Yes, it seems we did not provide a SHA1 checksum for this beta.
Note that you would still need to make sure you've got the right checksum to 
verify. And the signature itself also contains a checksum.)

You could use the 2.1.0 Gpg4win release, for which we do provide a SHA1 
checksum.

Thanks for trying Gpg4win, there is certainly a need for more documentaiton 
about crypto software.
