You can find all required information on FreeBSD's website,
http://www.freebsd.org/

I recommend checking "The FreeBSD Handbook" regarding installation.
What files to obtain is also covered in that section (because it
depends on e. g. what architecture you want to use it, what kind
of media you need and how you want to download it).

For example, here you'll find the installation media:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/8.3/
