works best from level 3 but it will work in a terminal

cd /where_you_want_the_iso_to_ go

- all on one line- (this might line wrap)

wget -c
ftp://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/fedora/linux/releases/7/Fedora/i386/iso/F-7-i386-DVD.iso


the -c will permit restarts if your machine crashes of you are disconnected.
