A better solution would be to use jigdo-lite to download a set of CD or DVD images, and install from them. Jidgo can complete the task, even if it takes multiple sessions and even if communications are interrupted. If you need a set of CD images and do not wish to keep running back and forth to the machine to start jigdo downloading each of the (now 18) images (very inconvenient if you are downloading overnight and wish also to sleep), a neat trick is to download DVD images instead, of which there are only three. Then, in a single, brief session, you can mount each of the DVD images as a source and have jigdo create CD images from them.
