How does verifying the checksum confirm the integrity of a downloaded file, when it’s posted on the same website the file came from?

It’s there to verify that the file has been downloaded correctly. That is, you download the file, calculate the checksum of that downloaded file and check it against the checksum posted on the site. If it matches then the file was likely downloaded correctly. If not then the file was corrupted during the download.
