There is a DVD version. There is also a CD version.

CDs are practically universal in a way that DVDs and high-speed internet access is not. In particular, there are too many DVD writers that write DVDs other DVD-ROMs can't read. And there are still a lot of computers out there without DVD drives (the only three applications I've found are DVD videos, magazine DVDs, and Linux distros: many computers don't need DVD drives). And there are way too many people without high-speed Net access.

And there are also concerns about disk space usage for the mirrors, and bandwidth for everyone.
