Fedora 10 i386 DVD download - Error 403 forbidden

[Doug Head]

Hi,

I am trying to download the Fedora 10 i386 DVD iso. By direct download.
But I am getting a forbidden error message. I have tried this on 2
different computers on 2 completely different networks, and am getting
the same result. Please verify that the correct access for this file is
granted so that I can download this .iso.

Please see below for the error I am getting,

Many thanks,

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access
/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-10-i386-DVD.iso on
this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use
an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

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/releases/...

Thanks,
Ricky

sorry, part of Doug's original message was dropped - the part that had the server's name. :-(

If I can get that part, I can contact the server owner.

Thanks

Oops, my bad - it was: mirror.aarnet.edu.au

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

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?
