You're trying to make it complicated when it isn't. You don't need to download anything. Just install the "jigdo-file" package then run the command: jigdo-lite <URL of required ISO file> jigdo does the rest. There may be one or two initial questions about preferred locations but just hitting return should work. It's easier than bittorrent. -- http://www.fastmail.fm - Email service worth paying for.
