But very useful.

Last week I had a "downloader" that requested a Fedora DVD iso
2.0e+6 times over several days. His script didn't recognize the
redirect, so there was no download taking place at all.

It really stopped a lot of these "downloads" after I added the
redirect. I have just these three lines:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond     %{REQUEST_METHOD} GET
RewriteRule     ^(.*\.iso)$ ftp://ftp.crc.dk/pub/mirrors/$1  [L,R=301]

Maybe the "RewriteEngine On" needs to be before the first
rewrite rule in Sergio's case?
