Option 1: Use the disk1 CD image, rather than the DVD for your install? You don't normally need all the stuff on the DVD anyway.

Option 2: I don't know if the DVD torrent is a zip file or not, but you could try that as well.

what operative system you use for download freebsd? (windows, linux, etc)
what it's your favorite (or daily) burner program? (K3B, NERO, Ashampo, ETC)

If you use windows, you can download in burnCDCC this link
Steps:
Download, uncompres.
open burncdcc.exe
them...
click in Browser
search the ISO file.
select you CD/DVD burn in the list of "device". if you have only one, you don't need touch that, automatically put the only one.
them, put the disck in the divice.
click in START
and wait. When finish, the disk it's eject.


I can think something? to put graphic environmebt in freebsd requires certain skill. made a look also to PCBSD. If you want a powerful system and really you want to take your time forming it to your measurement, I invite to you to that you read handbookthat you will have a great source of resources, or come to the forum when you need aid.
