Ah good. I'm glad they've come down again. I moved away from using the
files from fsn.hu because a) they got so big and b) they couldn't be
used to create .isos - they referenced files which weren't available on
any mirror, not even fsn.hu. Perhaps something had gone wrong with the
creation process there. (This was back in mid-April).
