Im happy to say that linuxiso.org now has all of RHL beta now a days. I also
found a mirror that i get 400k a sec+, i get around 250 from RHN.
My concern is for people who are paying 60$ a year so they can get the ISO's
faster. I would think this would be considered part of the RHN service,
atleast ive seen it advertised as part of the perks of paying. Well, this
part of the RHN is broken. Plain and simple. No FTP client will fix this
break, and its up to the RHN people to fix it. As stated in this thread most
people on the internet are browsing with IE. All these people can not
download the ISO's that they are infact paying for unless they install
another browser, which i think is ridiculous.

This whole thread kind of went astray and got out of hand i think with more
flames then my last bon fire. I figured my post would come to the attention
of a RHN admin or web dev guy somewhere and perhaps the problem would be
investigated. I will be sending an email or 2 off to the RHN people and ask
them to look into and see what they say. Perhaps in the future IE users will
be able to download ISO's via RHN's  https pages, or perhaps they will be
forced to go Netscape or maybe other browsers or just use mirrors.

More then anything else i just wanted to know what the bug was with IE and
that web page. I HATE knowing something is broken, and not knowing how its
broke, and how to fix it if it happens to me.

Jim.
