Most often this is because people are taking the ISO file and saving it
as one large file on a CD rather than using it as a binary image of the
CD.  For your software, you should be able to right-click on the FreeBSD
ISO icon and select "Make CD" or whatever the option is called.  If you
drag and drop the ISO file, I don't think that will work.
