You can use jigdo.
For more informations please see:
http://www.debian.org/CD/

.jigdo files can be found at
ftp://ftp.fsn.hu/pub/CDROM-Images/debian-unofficial/{woody,sid}/jigdo/

For SID you have to download much more data, because our first CD contains
a daily snapshot of the boot floppies and they cannot be found on the
Debian mirrors.
