Rick52:
A Bad Checksum indicates that the MD5 hash value of the downloaded file did not match the expected MD5 hash value of that file. In other words the file was not downloaded properly and the update was not completed.
Bad Checksums are usually occur because the download of the update file timed out, although there can be other causes.
