In this kind of situation, download the "md5sums" files in the same directory as the ISOs, and use the "md5sum" utility to check that the ISO you've downloaded are correct bit for bit. Then: if the md5sums correspond, it's your burner/system fault if they can't burn it, and you'll save time and bandwitdh avoiding a useless transfer again. Just burn it at a lower speed and/or with simulated burning. If the md5sums are wrong, the problem was in the transfer and/or is in the mirror. You may then want to report the problem to the ftp server maintainer.
