Yeah...  I did the same thing.  I downloaded FC5 #4, checked sha1sum,
burned the CD#4 (at 32x) w/ Nero 6.0 and this passed media check but
failed to be accepted by install asking for it.  Frustrated, I went
to another system with a new DVD/CD combo, Nero burned the CD #4 there
but with 16x rate, the media checked ok, and FC5 install finally
accepted it.

All in all, I lost 3 CD's in this ordeal.
