As I stated, if the sha1sums check, the downloads are perfectly fine and 
there's no reason to re-download them; the problem would either be in 
the burner, the media, or the reader. Since with the nodma thing they 
checked out, I don't think it's the media; but I don't really know what 
the nodma switch does and why it is sometimes necessary, I'm sure 
someone else on this list does.
