Torented .iso Hash mismatch

[Migaaresno]

Dear you,

I downloaden the following torrent:
http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents//Fedora-12-i686-Live.torrent

And got a hash mismatch. See attachment.

But i was under the impression torrented files could not easily get 
corrupted due to the fact the torrent already contain a hash. Whats 
going on?

Please see the note in red at the top of this page:
https://fedoraproject.org/en/verify

The hash is actually SHA256, not SHA1.

Hi, the hash for Fedora ISOs is a sha256 hash, not sha1.  The "SHA1" in
the checksum file refers to the hash used to sign the file, not the type
of the hashes contained in it.

Thanks,
