Hello everyone, I'm OP and I'm still adamant about what I did, and what I saw. The URL, https://www.debian.org/CD/ does lead one to images of CDs as stated by John H. So, my initial problem is solved. But what is an explanation of my experience? I don't know, but I have a hypothesis (not a Theory). I do recall that there once was a cdimages.debian.org, not cdimage.debian.org up until about a year ago. The use of the plural in the name is a nice affectation of someone in Debian like the use of the plural in debian-user@lists.debian.org. It is one of the things I like about Debian, an desire for careful use of language. I have no idea when www.debian.org/CD/ first came into use, but I'm pretty sure it did not exist, or was not described in Potato, which is the release when I started using Debian. Over the years since Potato, I have noticed that while each new release was bigger and better than its predecessor, the web site became more and more convoluted and difficult to navigate. I'm not a web designer, as well as not being a developer. But the new access path to iso images is something I can live with, now that I know it exists. I don't remember exactly what screen I was on when clicked on the hotlink that referred to cdimages.debian.org. I'm pretty sure the text on the link was 'i386'. There lots of links labeled that. Maybe I had the bad luck to attempt access just as a change was being made.
