What's wrong with downloading cdimages if you're going to download every
file anyway? I don't see this as a problem. A more troubling question in
my mind is, "why are you downloading everything to make a cd?" A local
proxy would be better, IMHO, as it would only take debian's bandwidth
for the files you actually use. (Unless you actually install *every*
.deb, in which case this doesn't apply.)
