I know of a few techniques for minimizing server bandwidth when
bittorent is not an option.

1) If you have the beta isos, you can rename them as centos 5 isos and
then rsync from a mirror that allows rsync (such as kernel.org).  Then
only changes from beta to centos 5 plus some overhead is downloaded.  I
suppose you could use this technique with bittorrent too.

if one file near the beginning of the ISO changes size by even a block, then the whole rest of the ISO will be different, this will gain you nothing.
