In Debian live images the links to download the testing branch are broken. Any alternative way to download them?

    The files just aren’t there (yet?), website probably got updated prematurely.
    In case you want to install testing for personal use (not for testing the ISO), the officially recommended way is to install a minimal stable system, change the sources.list to point to testing, do a dist-upgrade and then install what packages you need.

    If you don’t need a live image, the regular one is here:

        Your options are to test Stable instead, or wait till the Testing live images are available.
        Since the supported way to install Debian is always via Stable, the Testing images are really only there for devs and bug squashers to test the installer itself before it’s released.

      This is false,

      Sorry I thought the CD and DVD would be live images. Maybe they aren’t, I haven’t tried them myself.

          No as superkret writes, they are not yet available, these are install images for testing you can use instead.
