Installation issues / Re: Failed DVD installation amd64 rc-1 0710

tried installing dvd to another machine - no go.

Downloaded from Europe mirror instead of BT in case I got a dodgy download. Europe file said it was 3.9Gb. After downloading it is only 2.62Gb

Tried that as well on 2 machines and got I/O boot cd error msg. 

Can people direct me to the mirror that they have recently used (ie in the last couple of days) that the installation was successful for them. I was downloading the single layer amd64 DVD iso

Installation issues / Failed DVD installation amd64 rc-1 0710

Total noob to Linux, wanting to move away from M$.

Tried installing using the DVD and get the following error msg

gzip:stdin: invalid compressed data--format violated
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

This is happening on the clean install option just after it says

Copying DVD to HDD
Extracting archive (this will take about ten minutes)

Have tried the CD install before the dvd and it too craps itself with the live cd iso.

From what I've found out, could it possibly be a corrupt dvd iso I downloaded from the wiki site ?

Any help appreciated
thanks Corey
