It might be worth it to you to consider purchasing a set of cooker CDs and arrange to have them shipped via snail-express-mail. Or, even better, wait a week or two for the first release candidate. Once the feature freeze is fully in place, you can probably get a system that changes little enough you could copy off all the files from the CDs and do a little renaming work based off the ftp lists on the mirrors and rsync (to only transfer the deltas) them up to date (its still going to be very, very slow going). I heard a mention somewhere about a script that automates the renaming for you -- probably on this mailing list. I'm afraid I cannot help you with the download however, as I'm in the US. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj1kcwgACgkQUMkt1ZRwL1NXRgCbBS8NHriCrH+qUrRuVJg695oG F0IAn1Txq1ljzWu9zujlqN2Id7bv3BeB =Ak8o -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
