A check of the HandBook shows that I lied.  Look at
http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/handbook15.html#15 and you find
instructions to put the distributions in C:\FREEBSD, although I could
have sworn that I saw a message recently on freebsd-questions that
gave a different location, but I can't find it.

Anyway, with 5GB of disk, download everything you want for an initial
install. I'd do the packages after the fact via FTP.

Good Luck!
