The md5sum is a cryptographic hash of the file. On the firmware downloads site there is a MD5SUMS file which provides this value for each of the firmware files. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Md5sum for more details, as well as links to md5sum programs for Windows. If the md5sum you generate for your copy of the firmware file doesn't match the one from the site, you'll need to redownload it.
