Well, some of that's awfully close...

rsync://mirror.nblug.org/mirror/redhat/7.3/en/iso/i386/

And I *highly* recommend to anybody that you use rsync instead of FTP or
HTTP for downloading ISOs.

rsync --archive --verbose --progress --compress --block-size=8192 rsync://mirror.nblug.org/mirror/redhat/7.3/en/iso/i386/* .

Or for you lazy typists:
rsync -avPc -B8192 rsync://mirror.nblug.org/mirror/redhat/7.3/en/iso/i386/* .

If you've started downloading with FTP or HTTP and it failed, as long as
your filename is correct you can use rsync "on top of" it and it will pick
up where it left off, after checking that the start of the file contains
valid data.

If you want things to go slower, you can add "--bwlimit=1" (or a higher
number).
