I suggest using BitTorrent:
http://torrent.linux.duke.edu/

The one you want is heidelberg-i386-DVD.torrent

If you want to do a regular download, try the mirrors listed at 
http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html - at least some of them 
have the DVD ISO in the "iso" directory for the release.

Note though that many of these servers do not support large files (>2GB 
properly) and will not be able to handle the 2.3GB DVD ISO properly, 
whereas BitTorrent will do it reliably.

So you're just going to overwrite it completely, in which case there 
should be no problem at all (no need to resize existing partitions etc.).
