Well if you already went to the trouble of downloading it you might as well check the md5s. They are: c366d585853768283dac6cdcefcd3a2d FC2-i386-disc1.iso fc3c926442cc85a469268651bd04c186 FC2-i386-disc2.iso 5ad870e696953f4bbd0a91936873890e FC2-i386-disc3.iso c736f8048b12315b5c0b070de1d74867 FC2-i386-disc4.iso 2d8a20014af287bf8c6b29f2da031f98 FC2-i386-DVD.iso 22f4bfca5baefe89f0e04166e738639f FC2-i386-rescuecd.iso 0c0268f26ed08d24880119e1b44d45e8 FC2-i386-SRPMS-disc1.iso 3d17a40489e8dcd3761f166ff264c712 FC2-i386-SRPMS-disc2.iso 4e798934b399eb78e9e67dec23d946bb FC2-i386-SRPMS-disc3.iso 5d84eb0aecea8bce8e4857d3e46136c3 FC2-i386-SRPMS-disc4.iso It should look like this: md5sum FC2-i386-disc1.iso c366d585853768283dac6cdcefcd3a2d FC2-i386-disc1.iso If that is off then the whole thing is junk. If downloading it again, try the command line with better results: wget -cb -t 0 http://download.fedora.redhat.com\ /pub/fedora/linux/core/2/i386/iso/FC2-i386-DVD.iso This will download it and keep retrying if the connection is lost. If lost, it will then pick up the download where it left off. Progress can be viewed by watching the wget-log file created in that directory.
