Which client did you use to bring the image down with?  I used the 
standard bittorrent from the RPM of the same name.  One of its 
"features" is that when you stop a torrent, and restart it, it 
re-verifies what you currently have with the "seed" image before it 
starts serving up pieces to the masses again.  If it finds any problems, 
it re-downloads those portions.

Try stopping and restarting your torrent.

That's another way to do it....

You have a dodge version.  We still don't know how it got that way.  Is 
your hard drive OK?  Are you running smartd on it?
