Use wget ftp:// download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso If the download fails resume with wget -c ftp:// download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso Remember that DVD images can exceed the 4GB limitation of FAT32 formatted drives. Make sure you are saving to a NTFS formatted drive.
