A lot of mirrors do this anyways. ISO's are big files, HTTP wasn't made to move big files. Most people do this just so the user has a better chance of the download completing successfully.

Redirecting http requests to ftp solved the problem:
Is this really ok on a CentOS mirror? In the mirror list it says that you support HTTP but with this config that is not true for ISOs.
For most people this probably makes no difference, but there are networks where stupid NAT and/or firewalls lets you access HTTP but not FTP.
I limit the amount of connections/IP to 2 for the ISOs instead, this seems to work quite ok against download accelerators.
