Downloading potato

[Holger Scherl <snhosche@stud.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>]

Hello,

I tried to download the potato-version of debian to zip-diskettes at the
university and wanted to install it at home.
I have the problem that I can download only 500MB per day, though I need
about four days to get it.
But because the distribution actualizes packages in these days my Packages
file at home is not up to date (though dselect cannot install many
packages) and
the new Packages file at the debian server is
too much up to date..

Does somebody knows a workaround, for example how can I manually make an
Packages list update.
I have already a running linux machine to do this...
