The md5sum in not the same as the sha1sum. They are generated by 
different programs. If you want to check the sha1sum, try the 
sha1sum command instead of the md5sum command.

sha1sum -c SHA1SUM

Because of the way bittorrent works, it is unusual to get a bad 
image if the torrent completes. It does much more error checking 
then a normal download.
