We have daily builds and the normal upload in
http://debian-amd64.alioth.debian.org/pure64/pool/unstable/main/amd64/d/debian-installer/debian-installer-images_20041227_amd64.tar.gz
I guess you want that untared to
/dists/sarge/main/installer-amd64/<date> on the new server?

CD images will be hosted on cdimage.debian.org along with the official
sarge images. So far we only have netinst images build (as they are
the most usefull and alioth doesn't have space) but the rest will
follow. By whom or where they will be build remains to be seen.
