Even using jigdo, it's taking me a long time to download the
..iso images. Is there a list that tells me which image contains
which package, so that (I hope) I only have to download some of the
images?

According to the Debian mirror list [0], you have a mirror there locally
at UIUC:

debian.cites.uiuc.edu /pub/debian/
/pub/debian/ amd64 hurd-i386 i386 ia64 powerpc sparc

You should be able to get it really fast.

You should only need the first DVD/CD to get a working system. And as
long as you know how to work apt-get, you could just install a base
system and manually add X/*DM/WindowManager to your system.

But to more specifically answer your question, the first CD generally
comes with the most popular packages. Iceweasel, GNOME (I think just
gnome-core, though), and other very popular programs.
