You find the md5 (and other hashes) on the "origin" download server:
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/3.3.0-beta2/deb/x86/LibO_3.3.0_beta2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz.mirrorlist

The correct one is 
7f2f05d2b65471b63f37eaaae8264946
http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/3.3.0-beta2/deb/x86/LibO_3.3.0_beta2_Linux_x86_install-deb_en-US.tar.gz.md5

You can use a Metalink client, a Torrent client or rsync to repair your 
download, if needed.

I would generally recommend to use a hash from the download server for 
reference, and not from a mirror.

The crypto hashes need to be made more present on the download page. Sorry that 
you had to look so hard, I hope we can improve on this soon!
