Wrong download?
I'm going to install Debian in a 5 year old computer that's not connected to the internet. I just started downloading the .iso images in my laptop to burn them to a CD to install in the other pc but I think I might have downloaded the wrong set. Are my assumptions correct?
(Red arrow are the ones I'm downloading and Green are the ones I think I need)

Ok, so I'm in my lunch hour and just came home to start downloading the right .iso image, but when I downloaded the netinstall, all I had to do was click on the disk and it would simply start downloading. This one takes me to a different menu. Guidance anyone?
EDIT: The picture might clarify my confusion.

I think Debian has something like 3 DVD iso's that make up the complete set, and something like 24 CD iso files for the complete set.
