Maybe wget -b http://url/file.iso might download the iso for you. It almost seems wget has less error checking correcting capability than rsync though I might be wrong about that but that's my experience over here. I do have the sarge 2004 january testing iso in good condition here. I could probably copy it from the cd reader drive to the cd burner drive for any that can't get anything off the debian site at all. I had tried to get more recent stuff with no luckmyself. I can provide mailers but if I do this will need mailing addresses. I tried using curl but have yet to figure that out, it might be better than wget for integrity management but can't say for sure yet.
