When you said "list called MD5sums for the iso I was downloading", that
sounded a bit like it was a list of md5sums for the files within the .iso.
There should only be one md5sum for the .iso itself.

You also said "every one of my downloads has a different md5sum, (even
though I keep downloading the same iso)".  It definitely should not do that
(and protocols should prevent it happening repeatedly and without warning).
I might suspect noise on a disk interface or some kind of malware but then I
would expect you to have other problems as well.  Can you try doing this on
some other computer?
