You might try to download using wget with the ftp location link. I am 
trying it now and it seems to be working.

This might be a jumbled output copied from the terminal but basically, I 
am using the link that was posted in earlier parts of the thread.

Also, I have development installed already and tried to use punji but 
only ended up with the directories and no iso image. It looks like a 
pretty decent program otherwise and the configuration file is not too 
difficult to make the needed changes for customizing for your system.

Pasted wget info from gnome-terminal.

  wget 
ftp://linux.nssl.noaa.gov/fedora/core/test/6.91/Prime/i386/iso/F-6.91-i386-DVD.iso
