While browsing the MDK 9.0 beta downloads I saw what led you to believe that a MandrakeSecurity ISO nneded to be downloaded. Here is the right location for MDK 8.2 ISO downloads
ftp://ftp.tux.org/pub/distributions/mandrake/iso/
There are three ISO files there.

Here is a site to download the three ISOs for MDK 9.0beta
