In the same directory that you found the .iso file, there should be a
.iso.md5 file which has the checksum for the .iso file.  Rather than
trying to check things manually (visually) you can download both to the
same directory and, in linux, change to that directory and run:

"md5sum -c <filename>.iso.md5"

This will compute the md5sum and check it against the known checksum.
If it fails, you had a bad download.

Use "man md5sum" for more information.

On windows look for the digestIT program which does md5sums.
