After the md5sum fails you can try rsync, either against the same source 
or a different one.  Maybe that can find the bad blocks in the d/l and 
replace them.  Otherwise maybe the md5 you're looking at is wrong (you'd 
think FCn would know its own checksum though).

Perhaps you could try bittorrent.  I assume there are FC3 torrents out 
there.

Debian uses a system called jigdo that allows the .iso to be built from 
the mirror's repository (saves space on the mirror since it doesn't need 
duplicate blocks in the repository and the .iso).  So once I've 
downloaded an iso I can update it without having to d/l the whole thing.

Anyone know if bittorrent supports differential downloads like 
rsync/jigdo do?
