FYI - I have already filed a bug on this in bugzilla, However no one at 
redhat has seemd to show interest in fixing it.  Been sitting there since 
2004-05-19.  Please take a look and add yourself to the watch for the bug, 
perhaps some more interest in it will get it fixed.

In the meantime you need to manually rename the files after you download 
them to the "normal" names and then make sure (as you should do regardless 
of how you get the iso's) you check the MD5's
