Can't say I did. BitTorrent is supposed to hash check every piece it
downloads. When BitTorrent says it's done, you *should* be reasonably
certain that the files you have are what you're supposed to have.
I know that two blocks failed the check during my download, and BT
downloaded those blocks again. My isos match the MD5SUMS file.
