Netscape is in stable (potato) and unstable (woody).  Woody also includes
kde 2 but potato does not.  For potato I would suggest to mirror tdyc via
rsync and burn a CD yourself.  Here's what I use to mirror kde2 i386 debs:

ds10(0) ~ > cat /root/bin/mirror-tdyc
#!/bin/bash
set -e
 
root=/scratch/mirrors/tdyc/dists/potato
 
cd "$root"
exec rsync -v -v -az --delete --delete-excluded \
        --exclude source/       \
        --exclude incoming/     \
        --exclude changes/      \
        --exclude qt1apps/      \
        --exclude binary-alpha/ \
        --exclude binary-m68k/  \
        --exclude binary-sparc/ \
        --exclude binary-powerpc/ \
        kde.tdyc.com::kde/dists/potato/ .
