I bet you are in dualboot and downloaded these using windows.

Why not write it to harddisk in windows and read it by mounting windows
partition. That saves CD. If your Linux is in /dev/hda2 and windows is
/dev/hda1, following will mount windows. (Suppose you saved in My
Documents)

$ su -
Password:
# cd / ; mount -f vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt
# cd /mnt; ls -la
....
# cd "My Documents"

Good luck.
