Re: About download speed

Please, note that this is debian user list, not debian customer service
list.

Besides what others said, you could also try to download using
bittorrent.

Look for you architecture and "bt" when browsing folders.

Tony, please don't top-post.

Manoj -- Please get in contact with NTC and point them at
http://www.debian.org/mirror/
which has instructions for people who want to set up mirrors
and
http://www.debian.org/mirror/official
discusses how to become an official country-wide mirror.

You can buy Debian DVDs from many places; the ones listed here:
http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/
who ship internationally are marked as such.
