I thought traffic from with in australia is like .02 cents or something?
Look at http://wwwcache.murdoch.edu.au/costs.php , with that in mind,
wouldn't you download it from mirror.aarnet.edu.au ? I don't know if
that pricing applies to everyone ? .. 

To install it, don't you download
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/linux/debian/dists/Debian2.1r5/main/disks-m68k/2.1.9.2-2000-03-02/amiga/ 

then install the base.tgz (whatever its called)

then each package you want, recompile the source you download for it?

So couldn't you get the source CD's and download the amiga only part?
