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. Regards, -Roberto -- Roberto C. Sánchez
