1. What OS are you using to provide the sizes (larger than those given
on the web site)? I believe that Windows calculates MB differently than
Linux does.
2. Did you also download the SHA1SUM file and do a sha1sum compare of
the file you got with the values in that file?
If you did #2 and the sha1sum matches then this is most assuredly an
issue with the way the filesystem is displaying the sizes.
What I see on the download site for the i386 iso images is
687235072 Mar 15 04:47 FC-5-i386-disc1.iso
700618752 Mar 15 04:48 FC-5-i386-disc2.iso
721016832 Mar 15 04:50 FC-5-i386-disc3.iso
720910336 Mar 15 04:51 FC-5-i386-disc4.iso
387753984 Mar 15 04:52 FC-5-i386-disc5.iso
3253669888 Mar 15 04:49 FC-5-i386-DVD.iso
79122432 Mar 15 04:31 FC-5-i386-rescuecd.iso
If you see exactly the same byte sizes and the sha1sum matches there is
no problem. There is not a problem if the sha1sum matches even if you
cannot see the actual byte sizes.
