I would start to suspect the md5sum.

I have done *exactly* this with a Debian ISO image that got changed under 
my feet in the interval between my killing and restarting a transfer with
ncftp: the resultant md5sum was wrong, and I did:

rsync --partial --progress -v -t -c \
    ftp.uk.debian.org::debian-cd/2.2_rev2/i386/binary-i386-1_NONUS.iso \  
    debian_cds/binary-i386-1_NONUS.iso

which sorted it out.

The fact that your rsync is transferring almost no bytes suggests the 
files are identical. Mine most definitely weren't.
