Did you use this link as your torrent:

http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Fedora-16-x86_64-DVD.torrent

Make sure you're not asking to install things from external or "extra"
repos during your install. That's the only time I can think of that
might require a network connection during an install from the DVD.
