This example of rsync should allow you to "fix" a munged ISO image, for 
example when you have spent considerable time downloading a copy of an
ISO and it fails the md5sum test.

rsync -auv <fully qualified domain name of rsync server>::<full path
name to iso image with no leading / after the ::> <local iso image -
same name as on the server>

I have successfully used (all on one line):

rsync -auv 
csociety-ftp.ecn.purdue.edu::pub/redhat/linux/beta/phoebe/en/iso/i386/phoebe-i386-disc1.iso phoebe-i386-disc1.iso


You should replace phoebe by shrike or whatever you are trying to
download.
