Nautilus CD burner also doesn't support burn proof buffer under run
prevention.

Were you doing anything else with your computer at the time that used
some cpu time? That would cause nautilus to break the disc. AFAIK this
bug popped up in nautilus around the 2.14 release of GNOME, I believe
its related to libburn but can't be sure right now.

For the record, torrents worked fine for me, both the i386 and x86_64
install DVDs and the Fedora i386 live CD.
