I was not so much interested in the iso download more a general repository mirror. This would ease up my upgrade situation 
for my mums computer. she has only 400mb per month which is not good for upgrading to hardy...

Seems like I have to dowload a CD image.

Can I use the alternate CD image to do a dist upgrade (xubuntu)?
