The nearest mirror that centos.org suggested did in fact include a DVD iso image...

Torrents don't work at my office (not surprisingly), so I tend to just stick with plain-jane HTTP downloads. Had I found a non-torrent ISO for the DVD, I probably would have downloaded it, just for the sake of having only a single file to keep track of. Clif,

I've run into the same pain and being that I'm mainly using it for vm's and not for physical servers without a DVD drive, I've used DVD ISOs the past couple of releases. Why not use the DVDs?
