This is on F7 -- the EPEL files where added around two weeks ago iirc.
Maybe it would be good to add them to the wiki as well; can't hurt.

It is really the same than:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/4/en/
with all the subdirectories?
(well is
http://ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/centos/4/os/
the same ?)
CentOS (round about) takes the SRPMs, strips/replaces some stuff that is
protected (trademarks for example) and rebuilds the SRPMs. Thus the
package names and the content should be the same (especially as they are
afaik aiming for compatibility in this regard).
There are some small differences; CentOS has everything in one repo
while in RHEL there are some packages only part of the Client or the
Server (for RHEL5 for example; it's similar in RHEL4 afaik).
The bottom part of this section
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/FAQ#head-f1c2fc524be33cdc730200379a381...
lists some of those differences. But they are not that important in most
cases.
