Having never tried Xubuntu, I thought I would give it a go and see if I could reproduce any of the above. I guessed you were using a Canadian mirror site so I tried downloading xubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso from http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/ Using K3b it burnt it ok, but failed verification just as you say. On the other hand, this is the first time I have ever ticked the 'verification' box so do not know if this is a frequent problem or a K3b oddity. However the resulting CD worked perfectly; the 'check CD integrity' test, which you mentioned, passed ok and Xubuntu appears to be running perfectly, so really none of this is of much use.
