For both the i36 and the x86_64 images when I do something like this: cat Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-DVD.isoa* > ~/Fedora-12-Beta-x86_64-DVD.iso The sha256sum -c fails on the resulting file :-(.

I expect that if you can use ssh, you can also use rsync. With suitable options (and they are legion), rsync will happily resume and, if you exercise some skill, repair large files.
Don't use checksum on a public server you don't own, I was discussing this with Jason from planetmirror one time and apparently it can kill the server.
Or sftp, but I've not used that much to find out about its resume/recovery options.
