is getting directed to:
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso

which fails.  The sysadmin knows this, as the directory listing
thereof has this note:

Due to size restrictions with some clients you will need to use the
FTP server to download the DVD ISO file. Please browse this directory
via
ftp://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/iso/ 

So, it is available via ftp, but not http.

In this instance, it would be better for the mirror admin (copied) to
do a redirect on /iso/ to the FTP URL, to avoid the fact that the
server can't serve up >4GB files.

aarnet, can you do so?

Thanks,
