You're trying to make it complicated when it isn't. You don't need to
download anything. Just install the "jigdo-file" package then run the
command:
jigdo-lite <URL of required ISO file>
jigdo does the rest. There may be one or two initial questions about
preferred locations but just hitting return should work. It's easier
than bittorrent.
