 Reaching out to the experts 📢🚨

I am trying to install Linux Mint 21.3 in my Windows laptop. I have followed the installation steps, but I am stuck at the integrity check.

I have downloaded the correct sha256sum.txt and sha256sum.txt.gpg, from Mint’s Heanet Download Mirror and from two different download mirrors (one from the USA and one from the UK).

When I generate their SHA256 sum and compare it with the sum present in sha256sum.txt. results don’t match. Like I said, I have downloaded the ISO images multiple times, from different download mirrors, and these don’t match.

Obviously I have not continued with the installation process, but I don’t know what I am missing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 I have stepped foot on Andalusi. Missed  Alhambra; we arrived too late in the day for a tour. Went for ice cream instead:) 
 Of course  downloaded a checksum from one site and the ISO from another does not matches that is like how checksum works  
 Thank you for the reply. I download both the checksum and the ISO from the same. For example, I check ISO against checksum from this page, which should be Linux Mint directory: https://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/linuxmint.com/stable/, but the integrity check fails.
