md5sum of ubuntu 12.04 i386 desktop .iso does not match

Question

I downloaded the 12.04i386desktop.iso from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop. the startup disk creator when creating the bootable usb says that checksum does not match.

I repeated the download many times using torrents too, with no avail.

Could anybody help?

Check md5 hash of your downloaded image with the official posted hashes page.

A how to guide is available here.
If the hashes matched and the problem persists, install 7zip .
Download unetbootin from here, make it executable. Launch it and create your disks. Do this only if the hashe matches

So what would one do if the hash does not match? – nanofarad Oct 16 '12 at 11:37
Need to redownload. But that page isn't updated for 12.04.1 (which is current version). Check this – Web-E Oct 16 '12 at 14:09
Can you put this in the post so future users can see this? – nanofarad Oct 16 '12 at 19:13

Check md5 hash of your downloaded image with the official posted hashes page, and use e.g. zsync to fix corrupt *.iso images.
