It would have been faster to just touch(1) the .iso file. Then the mtime
wouldn't match.
Probably, but not actually having done it that way myself, I wasn't

I was exchanging email with Jason at planetmirror about it at the time.
We were both scratching our heads.
* I have clobbered a download by trying to download what turned out to
be a symlink to what I actually wanted. Downloaded the symlink nicely,
