I know that page, but thanks anyway. However, you can't find spins<br>
there, or at least, they are not indicated.<br>

Thanks, that helps.<br>
<br>
The point of my message was two-fold.<br>
<br>
A server that <a href="http://fedoraproject.org" target="_blank">fedoraproject.org</a> points to doesn't work. Perhaps you can<br>
do something about it? (Wake up the responsible person, or make the<br>
website point somewhere else?)<br>
<br>
It is hard to find an alternative for downloading a spin (if you can't<br>
or don't want to use a torrent). It's easy to find mirrors (the page<br>
you referred to), but that page doesn't indicate whether the mirror has<br>
spins available.<br>
