Repository Servers Overloaded: Solution?

Hi Ubuntu Teams and Members:

Ubuntu distribution is getting very popular now. There are many noticeable reasons why its going up throughout the globe, but let me only mention two here: First, Ubuntu has made use of the strong foundations laid by Debian; Second, Ubuntu is on the right direction both "practically" (in ease of installation and use) and in utility (we have more than enough software choices in the repositories). The "blunder" move of M$Vista by forging a monopoly with hardware manufacturers to force or corner the buyer's choice of Operating System has greatly created a huge exodus of M$ users into Linux OS (I and my many friends joined this exodus, out from the slavery of egypt.M$-Pharoh.com) and to this exodus, Ubuntu met us with bread and water, not sword. There is no doubt that Ubuntu will make a page in the history of GNU/Linux OS.

But our distro relies mainly on the internet for the users to upgrade drivers and/or install app software. With millions now using Linux we can only imagine what amount of bandwidth is demanded now and then as users improve usability of their systems. Today for some remote nodes, to update one's repo-database in the system could even take much time --that's before a single installation yet is made.

My point:

Can we have ISO images of all current drivers/software in the repos for the users to download and make installations and upgrades offline?
It could take several DVD's of course, but downloading can be done through torrent protocol. Once users have all these, they can share physical copies to friends. One million Linux users sharing one DVD copy sets to one friend could take out two million users OFFLINE for the purpose of installing software or driver? That could help the world easing up the bandwidth load in the internet. (That's the beauty of Free Software!)

If Restricted drivers cannot be done that way then let us leave them out with this scheme, these remain online. Anyway, with the bad experience we have with those "restrictive" manufacturers unreasonably concealling codes to the open software community, their sales will never grow in the coming years: as for me I have sworn: never again an ATI be found inside my systems --of course that includes my friends, nor will my firm buy another Canon: I bade goodbye to these brands months ago, realizing they are villains to the freedom community. We include in the images only those that can be freely shared by the users under GPL.

BTW, I have tried google once for the purpose of obtaining ISO images of repo deposits but found none. If this scheme is already available this time, just ignore this question, and please give me the link here so that me and my friends can start downloading.

Thank you very much for your time. Pardon my undue politics in favor of Free Software.
