Hi,

I've put up a .metalink for this ISO at
http://www.metalinker.org/samples/SL-5.0-050407-i386-DVD.iso.metalink

It's a simple XML file that has info on mirrors, checksums, and other
stuff in a machine processable format for download programs. I suggest
using aria2 ( http://aria2.sourceforge.net/ ) since it's the most
advanced and offers error correction/repair of corrupted downloads for
FTP/HTTP downloads, but there are clients for Mac and Windows too.

There are automated tools in case anyone is interested in creating
them for the other ISOs.
