Actually, I think the automatic mirroring and the manual mirroring weren't
playing well together.

I rm'ed disc 4 and disc 5 just now; they're just full of SRPMS and don't have
anything you need to do the install.

(and, once again, I'll recommend using rsync with "--partial" and 
"--block-size=8192" for getting copies of ISOs from our site.  Anything else
is prone to more frustration.  And the "--bw-limit" option can even help
make it so you can use your DSL for other things at the same time)
