"Getting Debian ISOs has always been a painful, slow and supremely 
inefficient process. Jigdo is a tool for distributing and obtaining 
Debian ISOs in an easy, fast and very efficient manner. This HOWTO 
describes why you should use jigdo, a little bit about how it works and 
how you use it to get and update Debian ISOs."

Thanks for the jigdo link. That should be *the* solution for downloading 
extremely large files. I had installed and tried bit-torrent but it 
required others to access my system too. Since all traffic originating 
from outside is blocked by my firewall, it did not work out well. Jigdo 
is just like any other download manager.
