You didn't say how you downloaded. But have you divided your bytes
values through (1024*1024)? Would you be surprised that it is exact 2 GB
then? Please see the FC3 release notes

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc3/x86/

and especially the "Installation-Related Notes" regarding the size and
download tools.

(Better read it complete to be not surprised about other things changed
with FC3 :)
