It would help to either know a part of the file-name or how you downloaded them. If you know a part of the filename, you can use

 find $HOME -iname '*part*i*know*.iso'

where "*part*i*know*.iso" is some file-spec/glob that would match the parts of the filename you know. If that doesn't work, you can search the whole hard-drive with

 find / -iname '*part*i*know*.iso' 2>/dev/null

(the "2> /dev/null" prevents it from reporting errors if filesystem permissions don't let you descend into a subdirectory). If for some reason you downloaded it as another user, you might want to run the command as root to have deeper digging capabilities. Depending on the number of files on your disk and your disk-speed, these commands might take a modest bit of time.

Knowing what tool you used to download the files might also help guess at where the files ended up.
