Do you have better ideas? In general please find short names and don't use plural. F.e. "iso", not "isos", and "repo", not "repositories", "src", not sources", "delta", not "deltas", "torrent", not "torrents". Maybe also one level higher - "dist" for "distribution". And if cd and dvd images shall not reside within the same directory, the names "cd" and "dvd" would be better than "iso" and "dvd".
