When I downloaded the iso, I used ws_ftp on my Windows 2000 Server
because ftp's "reget" doesn't talk about checking the file. I had to
restart the download 5 times. I'm kicked off by my ISP at 8 hours of
connect and I needed a little over 40 hours to download it.

One of the first things I did after burning the iso onto a cd was to
mount it, cd to it, and just do a simple du. That is a simple test of
the filesystem. The coasters usually don't make it past mount and I've
been able to use any that I can du.
