No, the GNUnet URL for a file has nothing (!) to do with the direct 
ripe/crc32/md5 hash of that file.  Read 
http://www.ovmj.org/GNUnet/download/ecrs.ps for the details of the GNUnet 
encoding.  The summary is, that taking the hash of the entire file means that 
you can only verify the integrity of the entire file, not of individual parts 
of the file.  Since we want to be able to securely retrieve parts of the file 
from different, possibly malicious peers, we need to be able to verify the 
file-integrity on a more fine-grained level, which is what ECRS (previously 
called ESED2) allows us to do.
