If you have ANY Debian CD, you don't need to download the netinst CD
(unless you wish to try out the latest version of the installer).

Note that a network installation can be initiated using the first CD of
the 15-CD set.  All that is necessary is to specify the package source
to be HTTP rather than CD-ROM; this is done in the normal course of
events, after the installation CD has booted.
