Uh, I've never had such a problem. You download one CD - the minimal 
boot CD or the first CD, and then you set your APT repository to HTTP or 
FTP, and then you just download the rest. Given that most people have 
high-speed internet connections (and in this area, like me, Comcast 
Cable), it's not difficult to do.

I've never had a problem with installing Debian... Installing Ubuntu or 
Fedora, those I've had plenty of problems with ;)
