If you use ftp.debian.org, the distributions are in
/debian/bo/binary-i386 for stable distribution...
BTW, just now tried to connect to above - it seems ftp is
EMPTY !!! Anybody knows the reason??????????
If you'll use Sunsite or it's countless mirrors, it should
be somewhere in /pub/linux/distributions/debian/bo/binary-i386
(or similar - this differs ftp to ftp).
AND - GET NORMAL FTP CLIENT!!! Netscape will be not capable
of downloading all the stuff. Unless you're willing to manually
doubleclick on every file-to-be-downloaded. :)
Consider getting cuteFTP, WSFTP, FTP Explorer or similar.
Trust this helps.
