If you are confused about whether your machine is 32 or 64 bits, in linux do:
$ uname -m
x86_64 means a 64-bit kernel and i686 means a 32-bit kernel.
Verify the md5 or sha256 checksum of the .iso file with:
$ md5sum debian-8.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
or
$ sha256sum debian-8.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso
and compare the output with key listed for debian-8.1.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso in respectively http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.1.0/amd64/iso-dvd/MD5SUMS and http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.1.0/amd64/iso-dvd/SHA256SUMS Other checksums are also given.
