DVD:
https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/7.11.0/amd64/iso-dvd/
CD:
https://cdimage.debian.org/mirror/cdimage/archive/7.11.0/amd64/iso-cd/
Note that CD image (the system where installers are hosted) has its own
archive sub-directory. The contents of archive.debian.org are not the
installers themselves, but the actual package archive.
