If the md5 sums don't match, the download is proably corrupted. Redownload, using the torrent if possible so that you only have to redownload what got corrupted.
I second AlucardZero on getting the torrent and doing a check that way. Something definitely _is_ different if the md5sum is different - which of course is not good.
You can check your DVD (before downloading again!!?? ) with :
mount -o loop debian-500-i386-DVD-1.iso mountPt
cd mountPt
md5sum -c md5sum.txt | grep -v "OK"
if nothing is displayed at end of the command; this means that all packages are good.

Thank you for repeating what lugoteehalt just said...
Why are all of you against checking the file with bittorrent? that way you'll be sure nothing is wrong with the blocks for boot either. With bittorrent the integrity of the whole iso is preserved, not just the packages used for install. It will take less time, and be of less than a headache than if something _is_ wrong even though all the packages are fine...
Not against it. Just above md5sum -c md5sum.txt takes about 30secs.
As would a check with bittorrent. However the latter is 100% sure to identify the bad bits, and replace them (read: download) the correct ones, whereas the md5 approach will only identify a package if and when it is broken. We have already found out that this iso _does_ contain changed bits - now the correct approach is to identify them and download the correct ones.
