Linuxiso.org often has decent mirrors. Or you can look for a mirror on the site.
Here is another one:
ftp://ftp.amesfug.org/pub/linux/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX_V3.6-2004-08-16-EN/

I would go to Linux ISO.org (http://www.linuxiso.org/) and click on the knoppix link. also be sure to read Helpful Stuff secition and Help with iso images that should explain how to burn the iso

how do i download it as a .iso file??

im pretty sure thats what i need

[deathadder]

You need to have a bittorrent client installed, what it does is grabs the files from different locations at the same time, so it downloads faster, after you've done that you'll have the .iso. I believe thats how it works :)

do i have to have a cd burning program? i heard a i have to have a fairly recent one to burn images to a cd.

Once you have the iso, you can use the command line and simply...

cdrecord -v -pad speed=4 dev=0,0,0 imagefile.iso

Or with a 2.6 kernel

cdrecord -v -pad speed=4 dev=ATAPI:/dev/hdc imagefile.iso

Nero, Roxio, or cdrtools for windows will allow you to burn the .iso to a cd-r correctly, on a windoze-based system.

If you are running windows you will want to use one of the programs EnigmaOne mentioned.
