That is intentional.

Unfortunately, we were hit by a large number of bots from various
ipv6 addresses, each of which downloaded Slackware ISO images
repeatedly, which caused us to go *way* over the transfer bandwidth
allowed as part of our agreement with the colo host.

We've got better things to do than play cat-and-mouse, especially
when there's practically an infinite number of (cats|mice), and 
we certainly have better things on which we can spend the insane
amounts of money that the game will cost us.
