It may pay to test the CD/DVD drive.  I've had odd problems like this 
and traced it to the optical hardware.

In one instance the download was fine but the burn to a DVD turned out 
to be bad, but it passed verification.  Checking on another machine the 
burnt disk failed MD5.

Since then I've made a point of comparing the MD5 given by K3B with the 
reference

One way of checking the optical drive is to test a known good DVD by 
having the disk check itself and comparing the checksums.

HTH.
