md5 checksums do not match the image.

I am having trouble getting this image to boot from USB and I'm pretty well versed in Linux, ISOs, writing them to USB and running them live since I've been in the Linux game since about 2004.

I downloaded the image twice and both times I got the same checksum of:
~/Downloads$ md5sum io-live--2017.02--e21-k4.9.13-rt-amd64.iso
72503c172ece7214eaacf23d91a17f46 io-live--2017.02--e21-k4.9.13-rt-amd64.iso

Which definitely doesn't match:
~/Downloads$ md5sum io-live--2017.02--e21-k4.9.13-rt-amd64.md5
36e8af8fb3ec6c2e2b2722ebd182a02b io-live--2017.02--e21-k4.9.13-rt-amd64.md5

Since the downloaded file is returning a consistent checksum, it would seem that the source file or the md5 sum posted are faulty. Any input, suggestions or ideas are most welcome. I'd really like to give this distro a go, but I can't with the current problem.

Nevermind. I figured out what the problem was. It wasn't the source file, it was something within my PC. Shoulda known. Looking forward to trying it out!
