The md5 is a checksum of the file. It's an all or nothing thing, there can be a match (no errors) or a failure. What you have is a failure, there is no information there about how bad the file is. The md5 is to check the integrity of the file.

I frequently got bad downloads from the mirrors, but I have never had a bad download from Bittorrent. It should not happen, as Bittorrent includes it's own checks in each block and will redownload the block from elsewhere if it is bad. But I do know of one case where a friend had a corrupt file. It turns out that that was an operator error - he terminated the download as soon as the progress indicator reached 100% rather than letting the process actually run to completion. Whatever happened, the good news is that Bittorrent, on starting up again, should check that file for you and fix it. The fix should be pretty quick, as it likely will only need to download a block or two of the file to get a good file. I suggest restarting Bittorrent, letting it verify and repair the file, and then verifying the result with the md5 test again. It will likely resolve your problem.
