I don't think they keep the old CD images, that would use a huge amount of space.
I recommend you use the minimal CD image:
http://cdimage.debian.org/pub/cdimage-testing/sarge_d-i/i386/rc2/sarge-i386-netinst.iso
(linked from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/)
and after you have installed the base system, install extra packages over the
internet rather than burning a whole heap of CDs that will be out of date in a
week.
Downloading a minimal base system and installing the rest over the net is in my
opinion much better than downloading a whole set of CD images, especially when
the distribution isn't finished and the CD images will change from week to
week. Or course if the computer you're installing on doesn't have broadband
internet access, it might be easier to download the CD images.
