the bits should end up in http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/mirror/redhat/rhel/beta/

Places that have acls on redhats master mirrors will be able to pull from them 
directly, None of this is being hosted on Fedora's servers.  Sorry i dont have 
much more info but i dont really know how Red Hat has the rsync servers setup.  
or even what they are called..  We would really appreciate if you pull from 
your regular higher tier mirror.  If they dont carry the redhat module then 
please open up a line of communications here so we can find someone for you to 
sync from.


I think the content should now be available for you to sync. please let me 
know if its not.
