@yogurt, you should not be seeing that from iTunes. If your iPhone is in DFU mode then when you connect it to iTunes, then it should say that it recognize an iPhone in Recovery Mode. After which it will display the screen which allows you to Upgrade or Restore your phone. At which point you should follow the guide and hold the Option (on the Mac, or Shift on Windows) key while clicking on the Restore button. That will enable you to force iTunes to ask you to choose a firmware package (.ipsw) for the restore.
Going back to the dialog you receive, normally all you need to do is allow iTunes to check for updates and if it finds any just make sure you only allow it to
DOWNLOAD Only and not to choose "Download and Install".
The above action will download the latest iPhone firmware to your Mac's Home directory's
~/Library/iTunes/iPhone Software Updates/
But since the latest iPhone firmware 2.0.2 is out that will be the version that iTunes downloads.
