For the CLI challanged there are GUI frontends for wget.  ;-) Gwget
(GNOME) and Kwget (KDE). Never tried the KDE one, not even sure if it
available in Fedora, but the Gwget works fine.


Just a guess here but the source Karl is talking about is probably
Southern Cal. Fast site, reliable, and they offer http, ftp, and rsync.

http://mirrors.usc.edu
ftp://mirrors.usc.edu

If your model 'T' modem downloads get kicked from there it would be you
and not them.  ;-)
