I don't know if this is relevant in your case but I've been looking at 
MD5 sums of the ISO's because of checksum failures referred to in 
earlier posts.  I've downloaded from 6 different mirrors and have seen 
consistent failures on disk one with a few failures on disk two as well.

I finally did get a good disk one after downloading the second time from 
one of the mirrors but disk two from that same mirror fails after the 
second download.

If you're running winders to download the ISO's you might try Kana 
Checksum available from Kana Solutions:

The consensus though seems to be using bittorent to download the ISO's 
instead.  Can't give you any information on that though because I'm not 
familiar with it myself.

Maybe that's some help anyway.
