Until you get a proper MD5 or SHA hash result, don't worry about K3B.
md5sums is faster.
If they don't match and you can't get torrent to work, since you say its
85% complete, just get rsync to fix it (see the mirrors page for the
rsync mirror, I go stright to the main site in Sweden).
I've never used torrent since I'm on very slow and unreliable ppp
dial-up. Rsync is quite nice at fixing problems.
