I am trying to download openSUSE 12.2 4.7gb dvd. I tried all download methods, but always checksum does not mach. Can someone explain me why it is that and how can I download valid installation?

Did you do a torrent download? If you did, that should solve the checksum
issue since bittorrent does checksum validation along the way (with each
chunk) as well.

First I tried direct link, then torrent, then metalink with DownThemAll addon. I am using windows 7 professional 64 bit, bittorrent client - µTorrent 3.2
For checking checksum I am using WinMD5Sum, HashCalc and FastSum.
I have known some windows programs for checking sums to fail. Most certainly download using torrent and then use the torrent clients built in check tool. Then when you burn the cd use the built in one on the cd. SDB:Download help - openSUSE
I use 3 different programs. When I check downloaded file with µTorrent Re-Check I got Wasted: 1.82MB (2 hashfails).
I plan to mount .iso on usb insted of dvd, but first I need valid .iso file.

-=WELCOME=- new poster! cool that you ask before you proceed!!
first: make sure you are checking against the correct sum…there are
several (md5, sha1, 32 bit and 64 bit)
MD5:
26dd6c187f743f3af0cbb31eed138a07 openSUSE-12.2-DVD-x86_64.iso *64
0373980cd6f270e1172067b86c044633 openSUSE-12.2-DVD-i586.iso *32
SHA1
d11be17560c2b68fddf931a6ae0b2947bd009a10 openSUSE-12.2-DVD-x86_64.iso
a73c877f4f52f80dd7d5b768801597727200a7c5 openSUSE-12.2-DVD-i586.iso
second: you must not be downloading to or through a FAT file system as
it can’t take all the bits…
read more on exactly how to get and check a good iso
http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Download_help
and, once you boot from the iso you should see something like this,
http://tinyurl.com/3qde66h (not exactly like that, as it is from an
older version) where you should first select and run “Check Installation
Media”…it WILL take a while to run, WAIT for it to complete and
report…then reboot and select “Installation”…
but: if you are new to openSUSE, you really need to read/understand and
follow the advice in these…so read BEFORE you install:
and, this will give you an idea of how the install should proceed:
http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-startup/art.osuse.installquick.html
let us know how you get on…and, shout when you need help…lots to
learn here…bring some patience and face it as a challenging endeavor!

Odd, bittorrent should pull it without an issue. If you’re using IE,
it’s been known with versions on WinXP and (as I recall) Vista - and
posssibly Win7 that a DVD image is too large and the download fails when
it hits the size limit. (I don’t recall the specific size details as
it’s been a long time since I used Windows to download anything).
I’d also concur that making sure you’re using the proper checksum - both
the algorithm (MD5, SHA1, etc) and the file itself would be good.
What size is the downloaded file you’ve ended up with?
And just to clarify, where specifically are you downloading from?
