Not having broadband does cramp your style, but if you have a friend with it perhaps you could get him to download the first of the Debian install CD's. As an alternative, BitTorrent will restart a download cleanly, perhaps you could download the Debian install CD (you only realy need the first one of the 14 CD set) over several nights while you sleep or while you are at work. It would certainly take longer but could be done while you are not otherwise using your system or telephone line.
