Just for giggles I checked the md5sums on my files. I downloaded the

md5sums and other mirrors are here:

According to the page, the 3-iso-cd download (which I got) has the
following checksums:
7833f17c3fbe95581c48cf3848792d21
Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-Download-CD1.i586.iso
5850545e8fa3f63323a90b1403ec5064
Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-Download-CD2.i586.iso
029f660c78e29427f775a54284fb7085
Mandrakelinux-10.1-Official-Download-CD3.i586.iso
When I dumped the above to a file, ran md5sum <iso> >>mysums.txt,
cleaned up extra spaces, and diffed the two files, the result was
identical (implies my isos have the proper checksums).

You also want to check the md5 sums of the resulting burned images.
Just mount each CD and run md5 on the mount point.
More than once I have good downloaded ISO's and ended with bad burned
discs. If your burned discs are consistently bad, try dropping the
burn speed down, or try a different batch of discs.
If you creating your own ISO's (say for backups or such), it is always
a good idea to compare md5 sums between the ISO files and resulting
burned discs.
