I tried an FTP install but it failed. I noticed however that the 
"test/6.90" directories have been locked down again. They were accessible 
when I downloaded the net-install image but now I get a "permission denied" 
error (I tried a few mirrors). During the install I got the following error:

Unable to read package metadata.  This may be due to a missing repodata
directory.  Please ensure that your install treee has been correctly
generated.  Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository:
anaconda-base-XXXXXXXXXX.i386

Not sure if this has something to do with the sudden unavailability of the 
directories but if the anaconda-base file gets pulled from there that might 
explain it.
