Was it from China? :-)

What would happen if there was no redirect? It wouldn't really
download, so there'd no problem.

We probably also have this situation. Here's our fedora hit
distribution for June:

China 46%    what?!
Brazil 39%
Argentina 3%
US 3%
Chile 2%
...

Now for the flux instead of hits:

Brazil 64%
Argentina 6%
Chile 5%
Colombia 4%
China 4%
Peru 2%

So the flux distribution is normal, we just have a hit DoS. For May it
was even worse, it's decreasing (slowly). Anyway, it doesn't hurt the
machine.
