Yes, it seems your mail was dropped by spam filters (at I least I had to
fish it out there). However, your first mail didn't contain much
information. So thanks for coming back to us with a more detailed
problem description.

Yes, due to space and bandwidth consideration (and out of consideration
for our mirror network), not all images for all architectures (and
source discs count for us as a architecture when it comes to the images)
are available for direct download. See
http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/#not-all-images. However, you can create
the missing images very easily via "jigdo".
Please note however, that the four regular iso images already contain
all the source packages shipped in Debian GNU/Linux 5.0.8. The Update
DVD only contains the source packages changed between Debian GNU/Linux
5.0.7 and 5.0.8. The update images are provided as a service for those
who downloaded the 5.0.7 images, so they don't need to download
everything again, but can just get a smaller update disc. So if you
already have downloaded the 5.0.8 images, you won't need the update disc.
Best regards,
Alexander
