Rejy, for the record, I've downloaded many ISOs and other large files using my browser (Chrome) for many years. While years ago it was problematic to use the browser to download large files, it seems to me that that is not so these days. Of course if you have a very slow or bad connection, it may not work, and this is where download tools come into their own. But I think that for most people, browsers will work OK. The real advantage of the download tools is that a transfer is usually restartable and that is not always possible with a browser download.
Cliff,
I have recently faced checksum issue (i.e. checksum didn't match) when I had downloaded the ISO using browser (Firefox). I would say my internet connection is fairly good. After I faced issue with browser, "wget" worked fine for me.

Since you are writing the DVD in Windows OS, I assume you don't have any Linux boxes !. I am not sure what are the checksum verify utilities will work perfectly
in
Windows . However, from a quick internet search, I could find an official tool from Windows - http://www.microsoft.com/en-in/download/details.aspx?id=11533 - which supports MD5 ans SHA1 . Please match the MD5 of your downloaded CentOS
DVD
with http://mirror.nbrc.ac.in/centos/6.5/isos/x86_64/md5sum.txt .
Hope that helps .
If you can find a Linux box, get to command line
sha256sum <ISO file>
compare output with provided hash
if they match, burn the dvd with the following command
cdrecord -v -sao <ISO file>
If the hash values do not match, download the ISO again, preferably using a download tool. It is better not to use the browser to download big files like the ISO,

I did not check the hash values.
How do you do that?

What am I doing wrong?
What are their hashes? Here are some hash values of the files I'm sharing in a bittorrent
client:
CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1.iso (4,467,982,336 bytes) MD5 - 83221db52687c7b857e65bfe60787838 SHA1 - 32c7695b97f7dcd1f59a77a71f64f2957dddf738 SHA256 -

There are currently over 1000 other people sharing the CentOS-6.5-x86_64-bin-DVD1to2.torrent, too. So, do the hashes of your files match those?
