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.
I have 3 Mbit DSL and could download the F20 install DVD faster than that.
When downloading large files, if possible use a robust command-line tool
such as wget. If necessary it's easy to resume the download with the -c
option (if it aborts, or you want to try a faster mirror).
