I don't know. Have you verified the MD5SUM against the iso MD5SUM
provided by Fedora?
If not - it could be anything ... :p

They claim (by the nature of the URL) that it is FEDORA REDHAT. Aren't
you concerned that someone may be misrepresenting that that it is REDHAT?

After
all, it is a mirror of http://fedora.redhat.com

The previous poster implied that "it could be anything". I'd like to
hear from someone at redhat whether it is really redhat or not. If it is
a fake mirror, don't you think redhat would be concerned? If it is a
good mirror why would Bill Notingham say Tuesday when it is already out?

I only implied it could be anything if you haven't verified the md5sum
against official.
If it is genuine (as I suspect) then it's probably a mis-configured
mirror that allows read access before it should.
But me - I get the MD5SUM from the official fedora server - and then the
ISO's from whatever fast mirror is close. Since I can't currently get
the MD5SUM from the Fedora official server - I don't trust the content
of that mirror. It could be anything.

Because the official release is not until tomorrow. If they are GPG signed by
Red Hat then most likely they are real and this is just a screw up on the part
of one of the mirror operators. It is not the first time and it will not be the
last.

More than likely someone who is on the mirrors list who doesnt know how
to set F*&(ing permissions so that people dont get their ISO's before
the release date.
The correct way a release is done:
1) RH gets its bits done
2) It tells the mirrors they have a beta ready
3) Mirrors get their data with the bits turned off
4) At the correct time, the mirrors turn on the bits.
5) People download
every now and then things get messed up. thats life.
