Re: Installing Debian - accessibility question

Probably the best file format to download is bittorrent if you have a 
bittorrent client and use the client to do the download.  The file will 
have a .torrent extension and is less likely to be corrupted when you go 
to burn it to a dvd or flash drive since bittorrent does integrity 
checks for you as it downloads and continues retrying bad blocks until 
you get the clean blocks from the internet.
