From Mageia 4.1 64bit DVD torrent download page http://www.mageia.org/en/downloads/get/?q=Mageia-4.1-x86_64-DVD.iso&torrent=1 after a few seconds I get a new window saying: "550 Can't change directory to /Linux/Mageia/iso/4.1/torrents/Mageia-4.1-x86_64-DVD.torrent: No such file or directory" If I click on "click here" (a hyperlink to ftp://ftp.twaren.net/Linux/Mageia/iso/4.1/torrents/Mageia-4.1-x86_64-DVD.torrent ), I get the same result. Expected result: downloading the torrent file. How reproducible: always.
That mirror hasn't been updated since early June. It probably should be removed from the list of mirrors. Try one of the fully updated mirrors from this page: http://mirrors.mageia.org/status The torrents are in the /iso/4.1/torrents directory
There is also a bit easier way. In the second line there is a sentence: If it does not work well for you, check out these other mirrors. Just click the link. But we should remove that mirror.

Closing. And thanks for the report.

Thank you, but this solution is a bit a pity, because Taiwan seems to be the nearest free country to download Mageia from here in Mongolia, though a few thousand kilometres away. Now I'm redirected to http://ftp.sjtu.edu.cn/mageia/iso/4.1/torrents/Mageia-4.1-x86_64-DVD.torrent and get "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading." (while I do have a connection). I'm afraid PRC mirrors won't be better than Taiwan ones, and I'm not a fan of having the PRC knowing all what I download. Don't you have a way to contact the relevant person in the National center for high-performance computing in Taiwan to ask them why their mirror is not regularly updated?
Try one of these: http://ftp.tku.edu.tw/Linux/Mageia/iso/ http://free.nchc.org.tw/mageia/iso/ Both are in Taiwan and have the 4.1 iso's
