The FTP command in a DOS prompt window (type 'cmd' or 'command' from 
Start->Run) is adequate.  Or get a download manager for Windows like 
GetRight.

Download to your Windows machine.  An image of a floppy disk won't fit 
on a (already formatted) floppy disk.

Download the ISO's to your Windows machine, as well.  www.nero.com has a 
free trial version of their burning software which will do the right 
thing, if you're not sure of how to burn the CD correctly.
