Well, I also had a problem with that: see for instance

http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/News/2012/20121122

The download link is at the very end. It should rather be at the top. In

http://www.debian.org/News/2012/20120810

it is buried inside the text.

Apparently it needs to be clarified, as a user asked for it on
#debian-boot.

Agreed.
