Sounds reasonable, but I would prefer to not download 4 GB of the DVD image twice, my internet connection is not so fast. [snip]
Been there. When first using Debian I was on dial-up ;} There are several vendors with Debian on various media. See: https://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/My current connection is faster (via cellular network) and my service has a 2GB/month data cap.
I am currently using http://www.linuxcollections.com/products/debian/debian.htm [located in California, USA] I purchase a USB stick with all 16 DVDs of a release.They also offer DVD#1 for each processor and a live DVD for a desktop for selected processor.
