I downloaded f17 from
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/17/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-17-i3...
and it too remained at roughly 150kbytes/s, when usually I can download
things from there at over 1.2 mbytes/s
I too am on att service, and speed is not the only issue.
I did a direct download using wget and http. The mirrors in Taiwan hadn't opened for
F17 yet. From the US to Taiwan I go an average of 1.31 MB/s. Thank you 中華電信!
