Which link did you click on exactly (so we can check) ?

Yes. Thank you isadora. The link you provide works!
And this is the link I find error message:
http://www.mageia.org/en/downloads/ at Directlink and Bittorent, both columns.

It produce error message:
ftp://ftp.itb.ac.id/pub/mageia/iso/1/ma ... m-i586.iso not active temporary or have been moved permanently to new web site.
Galat 601net::ERR_FTP_FAILED:galat tak dikenal (in Indonesia)

my location is Indonesia, and I use Linux fedora 12. I will try to consult MAQeia's first next time. Thank you.

Ok, I rather meant, which link exactly on that page. I just tested a few and they worked nicely. But anyhow:

The links on the download page point to a random mirror of the mirror list. It may well be that a single mirror just does not work at the moment you want to access it. In such cases you will see a link on the second page where you are invited to check other mirrors.

Just a quick note or observation from the past,
If you are downloading a CDrom sized iso, a webbrowser is okay, but DVDs or files at or beyond 2GB in size can tend to cause download problems from http sites and I would suggest using the ftp sites for DVD sized files or anything at or above 2GB in size.

Likewise, the download location needs to be a file format that can accept files of 2GB or larger. This shouldn't be a problem for you, using Fedora, and likely an extX file format, but this could be a problem if your download location is a DOS or vFat location such as a USB stick which may be formatted as vFat or DOS or other.

Oh, really? Did not know that because (starting with Linux 17 years ago) I never used a browser for downloads of ISOs - so I was lucky without knowing it

I thought I was answering the OP's question
