I forgot to mention that in my email. Yes, I was curious of the same thing, so I did go ahead and test the md5sum of the downloaded iso, and it matched that of the iso on the ftp server, however, that doesn't mean that the burn was good.
I'm going to assume it was a bad burn unless someone says otherwise. I'll give it another spin and see how that works out.
