What I ment was using any of the Internet protocols like ftp, rsync,
http, or using any of the mirror programs.  Getting anything through the
Internet is slow, but with hte emergence of dsl and cable the speed is
greatly increased.

One of the things about Debian is that they use http as a default for
apt-get.  You can change it to whatever you want.
