If you need to install it, I'd suggest downloading the installation CD's (or the netinst, if you have a decent internet connection on the computer you are going to install it on). You can have a look at the list of mirrors here: http://www.debian.org/CD/http-ftp/ Not all contain older releases like sarge. One I found in Italy (not sure if you're from there though ;)) is http://debian.dynamica.it/images-i386/sarge/ Good luck!
