This indicates the problem is not with the source files, but with your downloads.
Have you tried using a download manager to speed up your download?

Try the "torrent" files. You will need a bittorrent client.
Get the ".torrent" file from http://mirrors.gigenet.com/ubuntu/8.04.1/
For example: http://mirrors.gigenet.com/ubuntu/8.04.1/ubuntu-8.04.1-desktop-i386.iso.torrent
Save the torrent file, then open that file in a bittorrent client. For a more detailed explanation of torrent (including usage instructions), see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitTorrent
Finally, remember to burn the ISO as an image; ie. don;t burn the ISO _file_ itself to the disk.
