This would result in all mirrors re-downloading the image wich is not such a
big deal except now there are a minimum of 5 users downloading the image at
any given time wich locks the file so it won't get updated unless the admin
disconnects the users and then the user can't resume the download and can't
start again untill the mirror site has finished downloading the image from the
master wich in some cases takes hours.

This will probably result in a lot more annoyed users than the first problem.
