Hi,

According to http://www.debian.org/devel/incoming_mirrors, these
are the Incoming mirrors,

    ftp://llug.sep.bnl.gov/pub/debian/Incoming/ (US)
    ftp://debian.midco.net/debian/Incoming/ (US)
    ftp://ftp.lh.umu.se/pub/linux/debian-Incoming/ (Sweden)
    ftp://ftp.de.debian.org:/pub/debian-incoming/ (Germany)

I just checked, and only `llug.sep.bnl.gov' and `ftp.lh.umu.se'
are operational.  Where is the canonical `Incoming' that is being
mirrored?  I couldn't find it anywhere on `*.debian.org'.

Attached are two scripts that I use to download the boot floppies
so that I can try them out, perhaps they may be of use to others.

Thanks,
