Someone who is unfortunte not to have reasonable bandwith, as is my
situation, perhaps could prevail on a friend with a high bandwidth
connection and a cd burner to let you fetch your debs. That is a bit
inconvenient, but it beats not having a phone for a day. It doesn't take
long at school, where they have a quite fast connection.
I wish you Lots of luck, and at least one very good friend with a fast
conenection and a brner.
