My suggestion would be to install jigdo-lite and follow the directions
at (if this is a debian box, grap it via your favorite apt tool):
http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/

Hi,

I am downloading the Etch DVD ISOs so I'd have a local copy. Is there 
any mirror where I could download the Etch ISOs from other than 
cdimage.debian.org??? The downloads from this server are slow, and the 
third DVD image doesnt seem to be there (in the download page it 
states that the third DVD is 2.1GB, but it downloads less than 1MB in 
firefox and then stops).


Thanks,

You usually dont need all DVDs. You can download only the first 2 CDs, 
you should have everything you need for a desktop install. Better, if 
you have access to a fast internet, you can download as you install, and 
also choose a mirror near your place, they are usually faster.

You can have to a list of all mirrors here:
