Are you certain about this? I used the jigdo files found at
<http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/cd/jigdo-area/i386/>
as a starting point and downloaded Sarge CDs 1 to 3 from the server
ftp.uni-koeln.de on 2004-11-06. It is listed as a secondary mirror
on <http://www.debian.org/mirror/list>, so it seemed "official" to
me...

Well, which mirror would you recommend? Are the secondary mirrors
any good in this particular scenario?

Thanks, I'm using Squid as a proxy already. I wanted to make use of
the CDs I created, but if downloading fresh files from a mirror is a
requirement, I will go for it.
