Great Idea. 

Patch attached, please consider merging. Thank you.

Not such a great patch. Firstly although wget will work fine, since this is a html document it is probably being read in a browser which can just download the image by following the hyperlink, if it was a href. Second you hard linked stretch instead of stable. Third you hardcoded the architecture. And just to round things out this does not work with mirror choice (not as big of an issue).

 

PS: I was reading
https://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.html.en#usb-copy-isohybrid,
so I hope my patch changes the correct file.
