Generally, before you download the .iso (any .iso file) you are
supposed to note and record for later reference the md5sum value for
that file which TSS has identified that value to be.  After the
download has completed you can then run an md5sum check of the .iso
file you just downloaded and compare that result against the value
which TSS has recorded it to be.  If there is any variation at all from
the TSS value, the entire file has to be downloaded again -- until the
md5sum values match exactly.

Only after the md5sum values match should you proceed to burn the .iso
onto a DVD.
