No need for details... :-)

But then the .iso.part sufix suggests an incomplete download, thus a
broken system.

If you need such an .iso for installing a virtual machine, there's no
need to burn a CD, you can simply choose the iso image as the bootable
device at startup when you configure the guest settings,

(And by the way, beware possible embedded bugs, virus or malware)
