In Debian live images the links to download the testing branch are broken. Any alternative way to download them?

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:
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/weekly-builds/amd64/iso-dvd/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, I know one who installed them and they definitely are available:
https://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/To install Debian testing, we recommend you use the Trixie Alpha 1 release of the installer, after checking its errata. The following images are available for Trixie Alpha 1:
However this is very early, Alpha, and NOT recommended for beginners or non enthusiasts or non Debian developers.
I don’t see live images there.
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.
I got a response to my e-mail; they say it’ll be fixed by Monday.
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.
That’s an idiotic comment, that would be a lot of links as you can see. there are both live and net installers, the Trixie Alpha 1, and weekly and daily snapshots. And there are links for 3 different mirrors.
How would anyone else but you know which you prefer? Heck you might even be using an Arm laptop!
Would you prefer if she came and installed it for you too?
