The .torrent file contain checksum information internally, so that when a chunk is downloaded incorrectly, it retries till it gets the chunk correct. That's why the .torrent file is big: it contains the checksums for all the chunks.
Now, if KTorrent is unable to produce a perfect downloaded iso, and even more, unable to correct the possible errors, that's a bug of KTorrent. Don't use it.
Use the plain "BitTorrent", for instance (btdownloadgui or btdownloadcurses), or probably azureus. I have sucesfully used btdownloadcurses to reconstruct bad downloads produced by KTorrent or ftp.
Now, if after a download using a good client is finished, Yast says the image is wrong, that's a bug in yast.

I would like to install and help test Beta 2. Unfortunately, before I
can install it I'm running into a few problems...
I downloaded the x86-64 DVD image via BitTorrent.
Problem 1:
http://download.opensuse.org/distribution/11.0-Beta2/iso/torrent/
doesn't have an MD5SUMS or SHA1SUMS file, so I don't know if these files
are downloaded correctly.
They are not needed.
