You can verify using the sha1 text file provided at the download site: sha1sum file.iso | grep -f sha1.txt. You should be able to see sha1sum signature after this operation. If a blank line is retuned, means your download image is bad. The above operation takes a long time depending on your system's speed. Sivaraman.
