I have the same "problem" on my mirror. But it is not CentOS related. I am getting multiple http connections (between 30 and 50) from one IP from China on many files I have on my mirror. From what I heard it is some kind of download accelerator.
All these "downloads" stopped when I set up a redirect of the .iso downloads to use ftp instead.
Real downloaders don't have a problem with this as the browser or wget just continues downloading via ftp.
Unfortunately, this is against CentOS rules, so we are no longer on the mirror list for http access (although it still works - for non .iso files).
As I understand it is the reason for not accepting this redirect of .iso files is that some users can't do ftp downloads because of proxy settings.
If this restriction is lifted, please let me know.
