Welcome!

Well done for determination.
I would also consider sending a replacement CD if the first did not 
arrive ok. Maybe the postal service people would like a few to try for 
themselves? It is possible, - maybe consider this?

Security updates- these are usually received by online downloading. 
You will have a choice about which updates to download. It is best to 
use all of them. I am aware that after the initial installation, you 
might expect security updates to be used very soon. Sometimes a lot. 
You may choose to download a few at a time, I believe this is possible.

off topic:
What dvd are you downloading, I generally use the desktop 'CD' rather 
than a dvd, or is this the one you mean?

best  wishes
