Download the whole iso to burn to cdr so you can install it.. www.linuxiso.org is one of the more popular sites to download distro's and their iso files. And then just do a custom install so you only install what you want and need, etc.
Official can only be preordered on disk right now unless you're a member of Mandrake Club. Then you can download "Official". If you download "Community" and go to the easyurpmi site and arrange for some download mirrors, you can upgrade to "Official". The screenshot is just a screenshot.
You can get Mandrake Official from their own mirrors freely after they release it as public consumption, which is supposed to be sometime next month.
10 community. all 3 cds. point your updates to an official folder on a mirror. update your system, including the kernel. "Welcome to Mandrake 10.0 Official"
Sounds like you're gonna have to pick either ftp or http, then. OR you could download the 3 disk isos from the images directory and install from them. Your choice.
