Dear Sir,

I have downloaded DVD ISO Images files from this below location: -

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/3.1_r2/i386/iso-dvd/

in this section the file size its shows 4.4G for
debian-31r2-i386-binary-1, but when I am downloading it give me 372MB
and for the another file debian-31r2-i386-binary-2 it shows 4.1G but
when I downloads it gives me 127MB.

So is this file ok or has to be correct 4 GB? I have doubt just because
of this sizes.

You are correct in your doubts--it seems that the files did not download
completely. Are you using a FAT partition (DOS or earlier Windows)? I
don't think they can handle files that size. Or maybe it's the program
you used to download the images. At any rate--these .iso's are broken
and won't work right (at all, likely).

And is it according to above MB's then even I can burn on
normal 700MB CD's right? So what's the meaning of DVD ISO Files? I
didn't get?

You are also correct in that. To use a DVD image, you need blank DVD
and a DVD burner (I don't think + or - matters). If you just have
regular CD's try the CD images. If you have a fast net connection, I
would grab the one labelled 'netinst' and do a network install. Or the
'businesscard' one if you have a spiffy mini-CD ;)
