No worries.  If you'd like to script it for the next release, so that
you only have to type one command and have it all happen, here's the
method I use:

1.  for the downloading, the script uses wget --continue, once for each
download link, this downloads the files from the internet once, and is
also restartable in case you need to stop it,

2.  for the setting of permissions, the script uses chmod command,

3.  for burning to a DVD, the script uses genisoimage command, which
makes an ISO file,

There's no need to write to an actual DVD and read it back, but should
that be needed I'd use the wodim command.

As an example, here is a shell script:

#!/bin/sh
cd folder
wget --continue URL1
wget --continue URL2
chmod +r *
cd ..
genisoimage -o folder.iso folder/*
