Hi, and thanks for the report. I'm CCing this email to our mirror
wrangler, who will contact the administrators of the mirror. Until this
gets fixed, try some alternative download URLs at:
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?path=/pub/fedora/linux/releas...
is getting directed to:
http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/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,
Matt
Fedora Mirror Wrangler
