According to the CHECKSUM file included with the torrent, it should be:

6e812e782e52b536c0307bb26b3c244e1c42b644235f5a4b242786b1ef375358

When I checked my copy:

$ sha256sum -c Fedora-11-i386-CHECKSUM
Fedora-11-i386-DVD.iso: OK

The torrents are self checking, but I'm not sure what they check 
(md5sum, sha1sum, or sha256sum).  That's why a CHECKSUM file is included 
with the torrents.
