Just for the heck of it, I'm re-downloading the torrent using the torrent file on fedoraproject.org. I'm getting 2.8 Mb/sec and expect the dl to be done in 30 minutes. > > And, IMO, since he can not complete, or resume, an oridinary d/l -- you > expect him to preform a torrent d/l? God luck with that. A dl by torrent is generally better since you're getting data from multiple sources via multiple paths over the internet. A ftp/http download is from a single source along a single path. More susceptible to a failure. Also, FWIW, when you do a wget on the DVD via fedoraproject you actually get mirror. I just tried it and I get a mirror that is very close to me here in Taiwan. Yet, I'm getting only 25Kb/s and the download is expected to take 2Days. -- Do not condemn the judgment of another because it differs from your own.
