That's the size of the DVD modulo 4GB, i.e the size of the file shown if you 
don't have largefile (over 2GB) support. It's most likely the software used 
to download the DVD iso can't handle files over 2GB.

Some FTP download sites don't list the file size correctly either, and it 
may be that the download client honoured the file size which the server told it.

Either way, the OP will need to download the DVD again, using a client which 
supports file sizes over 2GB.
