Your friend downloaded the wrong thing.  On carroll.cac.psu.edu, 
the iso Mandriva.2011.i586.1.iso lives in
/pub/.mirrors/1/rsync.mandriva.com/ftp/MandrivaLinux/official
/iso/2011

also known as
/pub/linux/distributions/mandrivalinux/official/iso/2011

If you go to .../MandrivaLinux/official/2011 you get the set of 
directories, which is not what you want.

Cheers!
