While debian might well have a better method (presuming you mean it gets
the latest updated packages, right from the start), I've found that
doing a network install was faster than fetching all of the ISOs.  Of
course you need a fast internet connection, and to use a fast mirror.

Rather than fetch the first ISO, though, fetch the rescue disc ISO.
It's much smaller, and you can start the install from it.
