Do you want to know, how to check if downloaded ISO is not corrupted?

It is highly recommended that all downloaders check their downloaded files for accuracy. MD5 checksums are provided for this purpose. In order to check your files, use a tool called md5sum (Windows users will need to download md5sum.exe below). The md5sum utility will produce a checksum, which should match the provided checksum of the files. If you want to check your downloads (it doesn't take very long), simply save the .md5 files from the download directory into the same directory as the .iso files you downloaded. The checksums have the same name as the ISOs, but with the .md5 extension.

[ Download md5sum.exe ]

Windows users will need to place md5sum.exe in their path:

Windows 95/98/Me: save the md5sum.exe file to c:\windows\command
Windows NT/2000/XP: save the md5sum.exe file to c:\winnt\system32 (or c:\windows\system32)

To check the files, open a command prompt and change to the directory where the ISO and MD5 files were saved, and run the command:

md5sum -c FILENAME.MD5

This command will tell you if the images you downloaded are correct, or if they need to be downloaded again.
If the files are OK, they are ready to be burned to disc.
