Hmm. Can I recommend that you _not_ do it this way? You are way too subject to network errors that will result in having to restart the process. You'll probably wind up having to re-download the distribution many times. You would be much better off to find some free space (1.4GB excluding the SRPMS) on an FTP server somewhere in your shop. (Any kind will do nicely, including a Windows one.) Or, if you have it available, an NFS server.
