no more cume dvd via sndptford?

Trying to use sndptford to get current v5r4 cume
to apply a few weeks from now. Cannot take network traffic
of a 800mb download. 
It appears with sndptford I can no longer get dvd.

I have 4 diff customers to do in Feb. 
IBM probably saves a bundle doing this.
My job just got exponentially harder. 
Have not used fix central after others had a multitude of problems,
plus it doesn't seem to like one pc and many systems not 
related to each other. 
Wondering how others who support multiple customers,
multiple machines are doing this? 
Right now seems I will be scheduling/monitoring 4 diff
downloads at 2am (2 custs are 24x7). Since each download
is only the ptfs needed, a download to one system may not
have everything another system needs?
