Well, it is stil a good idea then, as only the needed packages need be
downloaded.

I remeber when i also had to have a CD running for a week.
I would have appreciated if i could geta base install, and then just add what
big parts I really needed.

</I>
We should always make sure to have bittorrent working.
Bittorrent checks and auto re-downloads broken parts.
It can even repair broken isos.
Unfortunately *some* people use ISPs that supress bittorent traffic.

Yes full DVD(s) for thoose that need it would be good for them.
