You could also try using a torrent instead. Seems to download faster for
me that way. Also, before burning the CD/DVD make sure to check its MD5
sum, which tests the integrity of the downloaded file. The correct MD5
sum should be available on the site, and there is a "md5sum" application
available for doing that.
