Please write in english.
Do you really need to download the full ISO set?
- if you want to install a Debian machine which has network connection,
you're far better off if you download the businesscard or netinst ISO (~30
or ~100M) and then only download the packages you really need.
- if you want to install several Debian machines, I recommend installing
the first machine from businesscard ISO and only a minimal package set,
then looking at the 'apt-proxy' or 'apt-cacher' packages to use that first
Debian machine as a local mirror for installing the other machines.
- even if you really want to install machiens which have no network access,
you'll usually only need the first ISO and a few additional packages.
There are tools like apt-zip that can be used to later easily determine
which packages to get.
(Ok, but by now you probably already have your ISO images - but I'd still
advise to switch to direct downloading of updated packages. Repeatedly
downloading CD weekly images or so would *really* be a waste of bandwidth.
If you want to get updated CD images, have a look at jigdo.)
