Well, the reason was that I had the disk. So I listened to the sage 
advice from the list here, and started to download the file. I have the 
usual cable connection, and I thought
I'd have the file in 20 minutes or so. The estimate was 4½ hours! I said 
to go ahead, and then after about 2½ hours I accidentally aborted it. 
I'll try again late tonite.
I'm downloadeing from fedoraproject.org.
