You are correct in your doubts--it seems that the files did not download
completely. Are you using a FAT partition (DOS or earlier Windows)? I
don't think they can handle files that size. Or maybe it's the program
you used to download the images. At any rate--these .iso's are broken
and won't work right (at all, likely).

You are also correct in that. To use a DVD image, you need blank DVD
and a DVD burner (I don't think + or - matters). If you just have
regular CD's try the CD images. If you have a fast net connection, I
would grab the one labelled 'netinst' and do a network install. Or the
'businesscard' one if you have a spiffy mini-CD ;)
