Before spending a lot of time trying to download the third dvd image it is good to assure you that the third disk is not needed to install Debian. Unless you are operating completely offline and unconnected from the Internet then downloading all of the dvd images are not needed to install Debian. Generally only the first disk of either the CD or DVD install disks is enough to install Debian. It is generally preferable to install from the first disk and then to add other components by installing with a network available. The latest available packages will be installed over the network. The later disks are provided for completeness. It makes it possible to install a complete system in an isolated environment that does not have network access. It makes it possible to archive a complete set of software for long term risk abatement. But for most users this is not needed nor is it desirable. For most users installing from the first disk with a network available for additional components is the best installation choice.
