    Apparently, the Debian website suggests that you could use jigdo. This is the website: http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/

    Absolutely. The website with the list of mirrors is http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/. I dont not see ISO's for testing or unstable but I do for stable. Maybe someone could redirect you to download sites for testing and unstable (sorry, I am not a Debian guy).

    I know this might be off of the topic but are all 14 discs required for a sarge install?

    if you have no internet connection and you want every possible package. I just get the first and then download the rest with apt-get.
