Which program did you use to download the image?

Alternatively, you can use Jigdo:

The Debian SID DVD #1 jigdo file is available here:

If you're going to install Sid, I wouldn't bother with the install CDs. Instead, I'd go for the netinst CD and install it that way. The net installer has its quirks but provides a much easier way to get an up to date version of Sid installed more quickly
