Well not exactly...   you may download the differences using rsync 
so md5suns match.

Sometimes during download of large files they may corrupt, reason why the 
md5sums do not match, but instead of downloading the full iso file, using 
rsync you can download just the part (bits-or-bytes) missing from the iso.

rsync creates a temporarely file with the correct information and fixes the 
corrupted one.

Try rsync --help for a full description of features and commands.
