SourceForge has file size limits that will not allow for DVD size 
files.  I have tried them and that is how I know this.

The issue with the main LO site is "how do I get the .iso file there"?  
The only way I know is to give FTP access to my files and they download 
ALL of the files in ALL of the folders THEN they create the ISO file[s] 
and place them on their servers.  It has been months since I have heard 
anything about having the ISOs on the LO site, since just before the CMS 
system was offered.  Right now, the CMS version of the NA DVD is being 
rebuilt and it will be only one line [so far] 3.3.x.  The current 
version of the NA DVDs at the LibreOffice-NA.US testing portal has 3.3.3 
Windows and Windows-Linux-Mac install versions with the same for the 
3.4.1 installs.  That makes 4 DVDs that could be available for download 
and burning.

I have kept that testing portal as up-to-date as I can.  Right now, with 
my broadband access, my upload speed takes about 7 hours or more to 
upload a full set of Windows, Linux [.deb and .rpm], and Mac [PPC and 
Intel], installs to the portal.  The CMS server system will be great, 
when the pages are online and fully edited to the point that the 
LibreOffice-NA.US portal DVD pages are.  The 3.3.3 pages on that CMS 
system should be ready by the end of August, and hopefully before then.  
But, after the W-L-M version for 3.3.x installs is ready, then there 
will need to be one for the 3.4.x line and the Windows-only versions for 
those who do not want to download a DVD .iso file has the other OSs and 
is about twice the file size.  3.3.3 installs - Windows-only is about 
1.9 GB in size, while Windows-Linux-Mac is about 3.9 GB in size.  
Windows-only users would rather not download the extra 2 GB of file 
size, or at least I would not if I had the option not to.
