I thought to this, whether wget supports retrieving specified blocks

I didn't get you clearly. But I guess you are thinking that I'll
download the individual packages. Nope I'm not doing it that way. I
want to download the iso, one file and want it split to small files.

--header allows you to add arbitary http headers. I think you can just
add a range header, but there might be some complications.

Could you try an http install so only have to download a
netinstall.iso/boot.iso and let it download/install over the internet?
That takes care of one box until get hands on an iso or dvd or something
(hell can someone mail a dvd to you? lol)
