"leaks"
This is just the silliest thing I have ever heard. This happens all the time, even with Windows. I see no cause for alarm, especially since this is FOSS. What's the problem?

One of the members on CentOS Facebook page says that he was able to download ISO file from a public official mirror. Maybe someone could check this claim and plug the leak?
Rough checking shows at least 3 mirrors leaking, which is typical. I've contacted one mirror admin that promptly took his mirror off-line to address it (at least it is no longer responding).
There is nothing that can be done to "plug" leaks except
- contact the admins and have them fix it
- remove the mirrors from the mirrorlist and remove their acls.
Frankly, not that my vote counts, I'm all for #2. The issue can be revisited a few days after release once everything is calm again.
