A common workaround that is often mentioned on Fedora's mirror-list is 
to redirect .iso downloads to ftp URLs.  Even if your http server can

Here is the Apache config we use:

RedirectMatch 301 /(.*\.iso)$ ftp://<hostname>/$1
RedirectMatch 301 /(.*/iso/*)$ ftp://<hostname>/$1

(replace <hostname> with your FTP server's hostname)
