Why don't you just use dselect's "ftp" upgrade method? Much simpler than
downloading the whole thing.

1) Follow the mini-howto.
2) fire up dselect, select "ftp" as the method, point it at
ftp.debian.org, use /debian/hamm/hamm/main/binary-i386 as the
directories.
3) select the packages you want to upgrade (select all of them if you
really want to upgrade them all :)
4) hit "install" and let it run.
You'll have to repeat 2-4 using /debian/hamm/hamm/contrib/binary-i386 and
/debian/hamm/hamm/non-free/binary-i386 to get contrib and non-free.
