freebsd is... free! unix is a commercial product and I doubt you could buy it for 40 bucks.... but there are versions that can run on PCs, if you can afford one. :)
to download a large amount of data, use a download manager (I used FlashGet, but there are a lot of other good ones). they can even be stopped and retrieve downloads. I used to d/l CD iso images through 33.6 kbps modem! and never have I burned a "coaster"!
why don't you try LINUX? it's also free, and it can be found even on some CD/DVDs that come with IT magazines.

The previous poster has a good idea. You can use a linux distribution that has a simple window manager and wget to download the ISOs needed.
