Hi David,

there are many factors that may cause a bad download.

If memtest does not fail try some more things.

1. Plug a usb stick or an external drive into your laptop and "cd" into it.
Try to run rsync from there and tell me if md5sum failes again.

If it does, I guess it has not to do something with your hard drive.

2. Try to download the file with a different computer.

If md5sum failes again, you're likely to have a problem with your internet connection.

But I guess you're having issues with RAM, hard drive or your file system.
Check on this things too.
