If you go through http://www.mageia.org/downloads/:
 - click on the image you want to download,
 - you're redirected to a page with the relevant info about
signatures, which page reloads into the image file itself (it causes
your browser to start downloading the file, without altering the
previous page you still can interact with).

I guess I could add a link to those as well to download them?
