Easiest thing: Make a cd from the image (how many MBs are these ?!?) or
get a CD from JF Lehmann Buchhandlung, Köln for 20 DM. Install from the
CD.
Upgrade to the newest stable tree via dselect's ftp method.
Since you don't mind downloading the whole image, the ftp method is what
you want. Maybe you can also use the nfs mount option (I do this to mount
my university's debian mirror).

There is a debian-cd package which does all the magic, but this won't help
you much for now :-)
