Testing live images not available in debian.org
In Debian live images the links to download the testing branch are broken. Any alternative way to download them?

Looks like it’s fixed. Yippee!

The files just aren't there (yet?), website probably got updated prematurely.
In case you want to install testing for personal use (not for testing the ISO), the officially recommended way is to install a minimal stable system, change the sources.list to point to testing, do a dist-upgrade and then install what packages you need.
If you don't need a live image, the regular one is here:

I want to test testing in my new laptop with windows installed.
Your options are to test Stable instead, or wait till the Testing live images are available.
Since the supported way to install Debian is always via Stable, the Testing images are really only there for devs and bug squashers to test the installer itself before it's released.
This is false,Sorry I thought the CD and DVD would be live images. Maybe they aren't, I haven't tried them myself.
I don't see live images there.
No as superkret writes, they are not yet available, these are install images for testing you can use instead.
I got a response to my e-mail; they say it’ll be fixed by Monday.
Awesome, thanks!
Has someone sent an e-mail about the issue? If not, I can message [email protected], which seems like the person you should contact.
This is very annoying to me; I’m a big fan of these images and they’re my goto for testing Debian on new hardware or doing full disk dumps/images.
Please do it. I sent a message to the IRC chat but nobody responded.
Sent! Although I just realized it’s not like only one person has to send an e-mail; multiple would make it clearer that these images are important to some people.

Funny how the only correct response is downvoted?
First link goes directly to newest testing images.
If he's wright give the precise working link of the LIVE TESTING image.
I was not aware that it literally had to be a LIVE image.
