The subject line of your message mentions md5sum. If you are using that 
program to generate the hash you are comparing against the information on the 
FC4 download sites you are using the wrong program. The file containing the 
hash values is called SHA1SUM and near the top of that file you will see the 
line "Hash: SHA1".

You need to run the program sha1sum to get the correct hash values. The switch 
from md5sum to sha1sum was made sometime after FC3 came out.
