What is your problem? You just have to look for one different character
(open the website with the md5sums, and a editor/shell with your computed
md5sums) and trash the iso - otherwise feel free to burn it and install.
You may download the *.md5 file and run "md5sum -c" against it, provided you
have the isos in the same directory. See "man md5sum".
