Huh???
That's funny. I don't see potato-*-*.raw, I see binary-i386-1-NONUS.iso
See for yourself:
http://www.uk.debian.org/debian-cd/cd-images/2.2_rev4/i386/
I'm getting about 15 KBytes/sec download -- my link will do 70 KBytes/sec or
more. So far it's looking like it'll be about 6 hours for a single image.
I rsync-ed with a block-size of 8192. I am going to decrease block size to 4k
on the second image and see if it takes less time.
