This list is for those writing documentation for Debian; I've redirected
this to our general user help/discussion list.

No, you need to give it the name of an rsync server rather than an ftp
server. http://cdimage.debian.org/rsync-mirrors.html has a list of
servers you can use.
You might find it easier to download Debian over HTTP or FTP, which
means you just have to download what you need and don't have to burn a
CD. The installation manual
(http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/install), particularly
chapter 5, has instructions on how to do this.
