Where did you get this from? As far as I know, there is no official
Sarge CD set.

I asssume they need a _current_ mirror. As D-I changes daily, I think
it is not a good idea to use a presumably outdated inofficial snapshot.

BTW to speed up the install and save download volume and mirror load,
I use Wwwoffle as caching proxy (Squid would be eaqally effective).
This is guaranteed to be up to date.
