DC-PC cable ripping...

I have ripped Ready 2 Rumble round 2 successfully to the 3 .gz files. However when I try to rip Jeremy McGrath, the first file track03.iso.gz (which is huge) keeps pausing, and then at about 600 or so packets, a bunch of junk (ASCII characters) scrolls by on the screen and it locks up. I cannot get it to grab that file. Any ideas????
