This just means that your download most likely got very slightly corrupted somewhere during download - it might be a single lit bit which flipped, or it might be major.
The best solution would be to resume the download via bittorrent or via rsync to redownload only the part (most likely way < 1%) which differs. If you can't use the above (not sure if there is a torrent for it...) then you'll have to delete and redownload -- or burn anyway and hope for the best :)
As for rsync - I'd suggest finding an rsync capable server (mirror2.kernel.org comes to mind, not sure if it carries the liveCD) and trying rsyncing from it... (read up on man rsync, although it's not light reading).
As a starting point the following will likely work (one line) - remember to include the proper path to the destination file (last parameter) or to have it in the current dir:
rsync -vv --stats -rlptDHSzP --delete "rsync://mirrors2.kernel.org/centos/4.3/isos/i386/CentOS-4.3-i386-LiveCD.iso" "CentOS-4.3-LiveCD.iso"
(not all the options are needed but I'm riping of my own script which does site wide mirroring)
Cheers, MaZe.

Hello,
I just downloaded the very great CentOS LiveCD and have some issue with the sum.
when I do md5sum -c md5sum.livecd they simply don't match.
But when check the size file with the file size posted by johnny in the announce http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2006-May/012905.html They both match (in 717729792 bytes)
Probably I am doing something wrong, just to be sure before burn it.
I used the url: http://styx.biochem.wfubmc.edu/mirror/CentOS/4.3/isos/i386/
