Personally, I would have thought you would have found:
http://www.microsoft.com/presspass/newsroom/winxp/windowsxpspfs.asp
in your search.

Which would have pointed you, in the end to:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/a/f/5aff45ae-ef27-4821-b666-d2b6530cbe4f/xpsp2.exe
For the actual english download of the network install. (Size: 273 MB)

The site that has all the information you would/should need is:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/winxppro/sp2preview.mspx
