I get the same:
d38e78d8a8b6e8e43ded19cdaa2d0361 xubuntu-7.04-alternate-i386.iso
[took forever to dl from that server... even on a solid DSL line]

For the OP/Chris: what are you using for your download agent? You might
try from a mirror site, and I'd recommend you use ftp if you are having
md5sum errors:

http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
  http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors

example:

http://ftp.cw.net/xubuntu/releases/feisty/
http://kde.mirrors.tds.net/pub/linux/ftp.ubuntu.com/cdimage/xubuntu/releases/feisty/release/

For ftp, use gFTP and username anonymous (no password)
	ftp.cw.net/xubuntu/releases/feisty/
	kde.mirrors.tds.net/pub/
etc.
