This post is really intended for James, but is being posted here rather than sent as a private message in the hopes that his response may help others than just myself.

I have downloaded the frist two CD of the stable version of i386 Debian by BitTorrent from the links found on [urlhttp://www.debian.org/CD/torrent-cd/]this page[/url]. I do want full CDs rather than Installing from the Internet.

I've seen that you have suggested using a newer version than the stable release. So I followed the link marked Official bittorrent files for the "testing" distribution on CD (all architectures, regenerated weekly) on that page. It took me to a page with links for different archictures. I followed the i386 link. That gave me a small list of links and I selected the BT CD link from that list. That took me right back to the torrents for the stable version that I had already downloaded. I also followed the CD ISO link on the above page and that took me to a list of downloadable ISOs, but from the version numbers and dates these are also the stable versions.

Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Can you point me to a link when I can get a torrent for newer than stable versions of the full Debian CDs?
