When I try this

It returns

# path = pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/x86_94 country = IN ftp://mirror.wbut.ac.in/pub/fedora/linux/releases/9/Everything/x86_94

Of course I don't have any such directory :)

MM believes your 9/Everything/ directory is up-to-date, including all file contents referred to in there, but the database only tracks your content by directory, not by files in those directories. A user would get directed to this (incorrect) URL from MM, and your server would be expected to return the "file not found" message.

MM knows that there is no such directory 9/Everything/x86_94, so it expects you're asking for a file, and lets your side handle the "file not found".
