You don't say how you checked the image.
Firstly be aware that mediacheck is potentially unreliable.

Select a suitable mirror:
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html
Download or copy the SHA1SUM file from your mirror.
Do the check using:
	sha1sum -c SHA1SUM
You will get error messages about the iso images you did not 
download such as the DVD iso and possibly the SRPMs that does not 
matter.

If all of your isos are OK you have nothing further to do except 
burn them and install.

If any iso(s) fail go back to you mirror list and select a suitable 
rsync mirror and correct the corrupt iso using rsync as follows:

rsync --ignore-times <the rsync mirror taken from the list>

Example, using an rsync mirror from the Asia/Pacific Australia 
section of the list:
rsync ignore-times 
rsync://rsync.planetmirror.com/fedora-linux-core/FC4-i386-disc1.iso

The above command is all on 1 line of course, ignore what your mail 
client does to it.
