    Also according to the MD5 sums. DVD and CD images are identical for stable and
    testing.

    I already checked there. The problem is that my girlfriend doesn't have
    broadband, but only a lousy gprs connection, so netinstall is out of the
    picture. That's why I was looking for the latest available version of
    testing. I know that netinstall makes more sense with testing, but only if
    you can access the internet at a reasonable speed.

    Anyway, someone should fix the download page on the debian website. Is not a
    pleasant experience to download 4+ gigs of stuff only to find out that you've
    got something different that you'd expect.
