Same thing here at ftp.iitm.ac.in; and, the issue appears to be an upstream mirror that is missing the 5.8 isos - you hit that, all your isos get wiped out and in the next round you download them again. I have not been able to identify the problematic upstream mirror. I am modifying my sync script so the sync log does a logrotate kind of stuff, so I can catch the deleter next time. -- sriram
