There will also be a full DVD release in there as well as the rescue one. It is probably not fully rsync'd yet. Choose another mirror to get it from.
mirrors.kernel.org <http://mirrors.kernel.org> has it

so i tried to get F7 today but i'm a bit confused. i go to the mirror
and navigate to:

/pub/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/7

then i find:

Everything
Fedora
Live

i assume the isos are in Fedora so i go there. i see:

i386
ppc
source
x86_64

i assume i've found it. so i go to i386 and see:

iso
os

viola! not so fast. inside of the iso folder is:

F-7-i386-rescuecd.iso
SHA1SUM

i obviously don't want the rescue cd. so i back out and go to
/pub/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/7 and then to
/pub/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/7/Everything/i386/os/Fedora
nope not it either. so instead i go to
/pub/fedora.redhat.com/fedora/linux/releases/7/Live/i386 which looks
promising but still it's a live cd.

this has become very confusing. if i want to download the isos for F7
where do i go? i don't use torrent so that's no use to me.

i'm sorry but if the Fedora project is hoping to get new users with F7
this is not the way to do it. a link on the main page to Get Fedora
should be very simple to understand. and i'm not a new user...

what gives with this?
