somebody has to say it: you should use pseudo-image-kit-2.0 (http://cdimage.debian.org/~costar/pseudo-image-kit) It seems a little intimidating at the beginning, but once you follow the instructions it actually works fine. It downloads the .deb's that make up a particular CD from a Debian package mirror, builds a pseodo-image (hence the name;)) and rsyncs it to an official CD image. The rsyncing transmits a few 10 MB of data at most, thus taking load of the CD image servers. The bonus you get is that if a CD image should get updated, say rev1, you only have to rsync again instead of pulling the whole 650MB again. The only gripe I had was that I had to try a lot of rsync servers before I found one that worked.
