You're welcome to get them all from ftp.br.debian.org at any time :-) Debian has a widespread mirror network that should be able to serve all users needs when properly managed and used. The main user contribution is well explained in the first two paragraphs of http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp. There are two other thing users can do. The first is to not use cdimage.debian.org, because it tends to be heavily overloaded. Usually the national country mirrors (ftp.<country>.debian.org) listed in the url above are able to provide good bandwidth and a more complete set of images. The second is to first download only the images you're going to use immediately, particularly right after a release, and get the others later, if necessary. Usually it's much faster *for the user* to get one of images, do the installation and get the extra packages from the net than to wait for the download of the many images before installing. Getting all the images a few weeks after the release is no problem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
