Go to:  http://www.freebsd.org/   and study the handbook.  It has 
complete sections on getting ISO files and doing the installation.

By the way, you will not want Linux files for a FreeBSD install.
FreeBSD is not Linux.  It is BSD UNIX.   Although it does have a
Lunix compatibility mode and libraries, it is a completely different
thing with somewhat different philosophy and quite a different structure
from Lunix.

You can find all required information on FreeBSD's website,
http://www.freebsd.org/

I recommend checking The FreeBSD Handbook regarding installation.
What files to obtain is also covered in that section (because it
depends on e. g. what architecture you want to use it, what kind
of media you need and how you want to download it).

For example, here you'll find the installation media:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/8.3/
