I am looking for a set (3 dvd's) of Debian 7.0.0 AMD64 iso images, I wonder if someone with plenty of data gigabytes spare could get this for me please.
this question comes up every so often (about every time there's a new debian or your-favourite-distro-here release).
FYI, there are several online shops that sell debian CDs and DVDs quite cheaply, not much more than the cost of blank DVDs....and certainly a lot cheaper than the hours that someone else would spend downloading and burning DVD images and taking them to the post-office.
probably cheaper than the cost of blank DVDs, posting them to someone, and then paying for return postage once they've been burnt.

shipping to Australia seems to be another $9.56 USD (3-DVD set) or $11.18 USD (10-DVD set with manual) for USPS First-Class Mail International.
Another option would be to visit a LUV meeting for the purpose of getting data. I'm sure that there are lots of people who wouldn't want to do the whole download/burn/post thing who would be happy to bring the images to a meeting and copy them on to a laptop or USB stick. As an aside, one thing I've considered doing is putting an old PC with a Wifi access point somewhere in the CBD with copies of various Linux distributions, TED talks, and random things I think are worth sharing. There's an office in Little Collins St where I might be able to do such things. If I can arrange hosting is there someone who can donate a Wifi access point to the project? -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/
