I'm also thinking in setting up a script which every hour will download and PGP verify the files, and send an alarm by email if see any problem. Do you think that procedure can be helpful ?
Absolutely.  That is a perfect example of decentralized action at work...  we need as many people as possible checking these things.
I was just about to say the same thing; if there were multiple people all over the world downloading and checking the binaries against the PGP signatures that would be a wonderful thing, and would be much more robust against all the various attacks that might happen (DNS poisoning on some subset of the Internet, compromising one mirror, etc etc etc).
