I wanted to download the latest Mandriva DVD image, but it's not available at 
http://mirror.isoc.org.il/pub/mandriva/official/iso/2009.0/. I remember a 
similar problem about a year ago with 2008.0. At the time, it was attributed 
to an Apache problem and an alternate site was provided at 
http://mirror.hamakor.org.il/pub/mirrors/mandriva/official/iso/2008.0/.

Strangely enough, the 2008.0 DVD (which I assume nobody really needs) is still 
available at that address, but the 2009.0 version is not. BTW, there is also 
no 2008.1 DVD.

I suggest that whatever was done last year with 2008.0 be repeated for 2009.0.

I do realize that there are space considerations, but I have 3 additional 
suggestions/requests.  
1 - It's probably not neccesary to mirror more than 2 versions (the latest and 
one previous) so, in this case, 2008.0 is not really needed, but both 2008.1 
and 2009.0 should be available.
2 - If last years work-araound is needed again, there should be a link on the 
mirror site to point to the alternate site.
3 - Updates (but not full distros) should be available based on Mandrivas "end 
of life" policy. In this case, that would mean that 2008.0 updates should 
still be available (at least until 9/4/09). At the moment, the mirror has 
only 2008.1 and 2009.0 updates.
