Cause your looking into the i386 dir, and not the x86_64 dir, which is
where the rpms are for 64bit systems.  Here is part of the dir path to
64bit from the main fedora download site..

/pub/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/x86_64/os/Fedora

Above by using ftp to get to it.

So not sure what your asking or I am looking at the question from a
different angle?
