Your best options, as I see them:

1) Use jigdo to locate sites, download, and create images. Debian mirrors don't contain pre-made images because Debian is so huge, but jigdo takes care of this for you and is ported to several OS's. http://www.debian.org/CD/jigdo-cd/

2) Buy the CDs at a very low cost, if you don't have a fast internet connection or don't want the trouble of downloading
http://www.debian.org/CD/vendors/

3) download a minimimal installation image then install the rest package by package: http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/

You will see more options at http://www.debian.org/CD

Debian offers some excellent documentation to help you get started. The faq at http://www.debian.org/CD/faq/ and the installation guide at http://www.debian.org are invaluable.

And don't be afraid to ask questions on this list.

Enjoy!
