Most people on this list are from delhi! I have not seen many places in
delhi where you have enough bw to download debian packages off the net
( Even a 2mbps link starts to look slow when u do that!

Getting packages from an online source is good only if you either have a
very small total download or if you are on a fast link. It is quite nice to
see up2date running on a computer hosted at a decent datacenter, though!
Haven't used debian much, so I don't know if debian has some nice offline
features that I might have missed out on.
