When our script checks the dvd it gets a 403 ...

Check  http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/mirror.centos.org/5.0/isos/i386/CentOS-5.0-i386-bin-DVD.iso - bad dvd - 403 Forbidden

Which is what I saw before, but when I just tested it I got taken to ftp 
...

Would you prefer I just checked ftp and linked to the isos dir there ??
