Man, getting this is a pain in the a$$. Check this out from the site that I am currently getting it from (it was listed at www.redhat.com/mirrors.html but it looks like they won't be anymore):
 
we are sorry, but according email we recevied from redhat,
ovh has been removed from mirror program, because we allow
download of rh8 before the annonced time.
 
you can download the last image from
ftp://mir1.ovh.net/ftp.redhat.com.NO.MORE.MIRRORED
http://mir2.ovh.net/ftp.redhat.com.NO.MORE.MIRRORED

I can imagine.. All the mirrors I have tried today are all full, anyway.

Actually, hit the HTTP link from my last post above, as you can get some REALLY nice bandwidth from it. I got 230KB/s from it for all 5 ISOs since they didn't (or can't) cap the upstream from their webservers.
