Mmm. Two things spring to mind. Download corruption because of a bad
network card or poor cable connections on the Ethernet connectors. Try
replacing the cable.
If you are using a WiFi connection there may be an interfering signal on
the channel you are using. The quick way to check is to change the
chanel that your router is transmitting on.
Though I have seen routers/modems that have had bad power supplies cause
corrupt downloads.
I'm curious to learn what you actually find the problem to be.

It may pay to test the CD/DVD drive. I've
had odd problems like
this and traced it to the optical hardware.
In one instance the download was fine but the burn to a DVD turned
out to be bad, but it passed verification. Checking on another
machine the burnt disk failed MD5.
Since then I've made a point of comparing the MD5 given by K3B with
the reference
One way of checking the optical drive is to test a known good DVD
by having the disk check itself and comparing the checksums.
Thanks, Baron. Yes, I always do that too. But this is actually a
USB-key. And it it is the installation from the net that I am having
trouble with.
