I seem to recall the same thing happening with FC4.

What I do now is

1) use sha1sum to verify my downloaded ISOs

2) use CD-RWs (as I always have) in case of accidents such as dust on 
the CD surface

3) get K3B to do a check of the written CD whan it's finished. When 
K3B gives the "All files seem binary equal" message I deem the CD to be OK.
