Those who want to download the DVD iso and find the dvd servers slow, can use the jigdo download method. It downloads all packages individually and assembles everything into an ISO inside your pc. http://debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/
Thanks for pointing this out. I actually recommend that people use jigdo irrespective of whether they have a fast or slow mirror.
You might also want to try ftp://ftp.iitm.ac.in/debian with jigdo, especially if you are in Chennai (it has been fast for me in Chennai). As I write this, archive update is in progress though. (A file called Archive-Update-in-Progress-rocky-mountain.csail.mit.edu.lock is present there at this time).
