>From Debian 11.0 onwards, we're ornly providing one DVD as standard. It is a law of diminishing returns: we found fewer and fewer people were downloading all three and yet people were continuing to get confused by which DVD was bootablew and which was necessary If you want to get DVD2 and DVD3 particularly, then you can use jigdo-lite and .jigdo files. Most people don't in fact need them because DVD1 will install sufficient / they're carrying out an install while connected to the Internet anyway. If you need more than one DVD's worth, another possibility is to use the 16G file to put onto a USB stick / the Blu-Ray disk images which are also bootable from USB stick. It's possible that the admin of the mirror you cite just made the DVD files up for convenience of their users. cdimage.debian.org is the canonical source for CD / DVD and other Debian media so check there first for changes, as you have done in this instance.
