Of course there is not because no media appropriate to an ISO image could
contain such an ISO.

you could fetch the DVD instead (but it will not have all packages bundled
on one DVD)

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/8.2/



 Thank you ;)

Rui, 
in case that's not clear enough, DVD are too Small

Raw media sizes
DVD self burnable media : 4.7 G   http://www.berklix.com/~jhs/txt/cdroms.html
Commercial bulk (film/movie) DVDs : 9 G.
Blu ray, (rare expensive) : [2 x] 25 Gig  
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc

ftp protocol does not support command du, so one can't see size of
ftp://ftp.freebsd.orgpub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release/All/

Cheers,
Julian

Not a direct answer, but after installation from the DVD you have, you
can easily install any package from the ftp site by running 

pkg_add -r packagename

WinSCP on a Windows desktop.

In ports there is ftp/lftp, which has a du command.

I don't know how they get the value, assume they do just that: ls each  
directory and add up.

 It doesn't matter which mirror I use, same problem occurs.

i would use this page, to locate a mirror a little closer to where you are:

No, at least tens of thousands of people have downloaded it without
issue.  You should look closer to home for the source of your problem.

 Hi, 
 
 Does it mean that FreeBSD will not build the 3rd and 4th CD Images for FTP 
 downloading from now on?

Yes.  They take a lot of effort to build for each supported
architecture and essentially double the space required on ftp mirrors
to store a release.
