I finally got there with this, firstly where to get it.

http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html#order

On that page toward the bottom, there is a list of rsync, ftp, and http 
mirrors.

I then used rsync to correct the error.

$ rsync -I -vv 
rsync://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/knoppix/KNOPPIX_V3.1-2003-01-20-EN.iso 
KNOPPIX_V3.1-2003-01-20-EN.iso

I had already ftp: the iso, and it was the correct size and date, so I had to 
use the -I option to force it to check the image and update the erroneous 
segments. That option is I for India, not l for lollypop. The long form 
option is --ignore-times.

Thanks to all who replied.
