Assuming I might have a decent internet connection, a disc burner and 
spare blank media I might consider helping out.

However, this particular request feels too much like someone just 
wanting to take advantage of some freebie ("hey, I heard you give out 
stuff for free so I want some"), as opposed to someone in real need 
(hey, internet here is slow and/or metered, media burners are nowhere to 
be found, etc., could someone help out?").

Kind regards,
Andrei
