[plug] wanted: download and burn iso for me

Anyone happy to chew up their bandwidth and burn some CDs of a distro for
me?

I am wanting to update to the latest stable release of K12LTSP to convert my
local school to the wonders of Linux in a small PC lab (built with my
donated time and externally donated hardware), but I'm only on dialup, still
(one of these days I'll upgrade ...)  Trouble is the release is now five iso
files and I get 44kb download, at best.  Last time I did it when it was only
three iso files and that took me _two weeks_ with many, many download
resumptions after getting kicked off every few hours.  I imagine that it
would only take a couple of hours (?) on a fast broadband connection, but we
are talking around 4Gb in total here :-(  The other thing is that there is
an Australian mirror but only two sites in the US have the latest stable
version, so that's where you'll have to go.

I would post you the media and stamps for return postage so there would be
no cost to the kind soul who had unlimited download bandwidth to spare.
Obviously, I'll email you the URLs once/if I get any takers :-)

Contact me off-list gavin_at_ecosolutions_com_au and we'll get things
happening.  This has to be done by snail mail because I live in Dwellingup.

TIA.

Gavin
