If you downloaded it with a bittorrent client, I would restart the client and it will checksum every byte of the iso, and correct any errors as its getting ready to share your copy.
As for logs, if there is a file by file checksum, I'd think the script to do it should be on the disk, and can be re-run by hand once booted. That might allow a capture of the exact error.
