3. Neither of the above.

There's nothing wrong with the image. The likelihood is that you're
using a download tool that doesn't support downloading images of several
GB.

Please do not download CD or DVD images with your web browser the way
you download other files! The reason is that if your download aborts,
most browsers do not allow you to resume from the point where it failed.

Instead, please use a tool that supports resuming. Under Unix, you can
use "wget -c URL" or "curl -C - URL". Note that some versions of wget do
not support downloading DVD-size

images. Under Windows, you might want to try FileZilla (FTP) or Fresh
Download (HTTP).
