Debian does not provide images for download. The FAQ explains it.
But others do, ie
http://www.linuxiso.org/debian.html
I never tried them, I used the pi kit, there might be others, YMMV, etc.
If you only want a CD to install cdebian on one box, you might consider
buying a CD. Some vendors offer them for just a few bucks.
