What do you want me to say? I'm the mirror admin for mirror.hiwaay.net.
He is seeing something from my mirror that I do not see (either via
shell or FTP) and he's seeing it from another mirror as well. The
logical assumption then is that there is a problem at his end.
However, from this I have (I think) discovered a bug in Apache. I don't
serve the ISOs via HTTP (because Apache tends to do odd things with
large files). However, if I go to that directory and get the generated
directory listing, it doesn't include the DVD. I bet Apache is using 32
(or 31) bits for file sizes; at least it just skips the file it can't
handle (instead of crashing).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
