Its name is wheezy. It's an update, not a new release. See:

It's a bit late now, but you might have had much lighter download
using the network installation CD. Three DVDs is about 13GB; I doubt
that most installations would be that big. With the network
installation you boot from a CD (222MB download) which then downloads
only the packages that will be installed. See
