If you want a copy of KNOPPIX_V5.1.1DVD-2007-01-04-EN.iso I have one
or two, and could make more. Of course this does not solve the
problem of burning your own.

I think I have tracked down the problem...
I have a large external drive that I move all my ISO images so as not to
crowd the 40GB HD on my laptop. I have several CD-ROM size images that
work fine when burning to media after being moved to the external drive,
BUT look at the following:
This is the file on the 40GB HD as aquired via Bittorent:
-rw-rw-r-- 1 rbw rbw 4324202496 Oct 20 21:29
KNOPPIX_V5.1.1DVD-2007-01-04-EN.iso
This is the file after I do a "cp" over to the large external HD:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 rbw root 4294967295 Oct 21 15:04
KNOPPIX_V5.1.1DVD-2007-01-04-EN.iso
bc yields: 4324202496 - 4294967295 = 29235201
The external drive is 500GB connected via USB.
What are the implications of this effect?
Strange!
I bet the external is an ntfs. Do you suppose it reports sizes
incorrectly? Did you try compare (cmp or diff)? md5sum? I think you
said you checked md5sum (or sha1?) after download, right? So the hd
version is probably the right size.
Might be interesting try some experiments with other file sizes.

Here is my /etc/mtab...
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 / ext3 rw 0 0
proc /proc proc rw 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs rw 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/hda1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /media/MyBook1 vfat
rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,noatime,uid=510,utf8,shortname=lower 0 0
/dev/sdc1 /media/MyBook2 ext3 rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,data=ordered 0 0
The external in question is the /dev/sdb1 vfat volume... Could it be
that there is a file size limit under vfat in these circumstances?

dc -e'6k 4294967295p 2 30^p /p'
4294967295

3.999999
Hmmm 4GB limit, it seems.
google vfat filesize limits...

Well that solves that problem...
The other 500GB external is ext3...
DVD images go there from now on.
