I've also downloaded the majority of the Ubuntu versions via Bittorrent, just checked the MD5SUMs for all the Ubuntu ISOs, all are fine. Did you check the MD5SUMs using the command: md5sum -c MD5SUM and are they the correct MD5SUM files? Someone on my local LUG slipped up that way, he'd downloaded the MD5SUMs file for Ubuntu 7.04 and was manually checking and comparing each file by hand (and using the command md5sum <filename.iso> rather than md5sum -b <filename.iso> I'll check the rest of my *Ubuntu downloads and report back if I get any errors or not.
