I don't know what your issues with F13 are.  It works well on all of my
machines--some of which are fairly esoteric.  I did have some issues if
I upgraded to F13 instead of doing a fresh install.

If you must feel you have to fetch F12 and reinstall, here's one mirror
of the CD and DVD ISO images:

	http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/12/Fedora/x86_64/iso/
	http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/releases/12/Fedora/i386/iso/

Just wget whatever ISOs you need.  Updates should be available at all
the mirror sites still (until F12 goes EOL), but if you need one spot:

	http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/12/x86_64/
	http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/updates/12/i386/

F12 will go EOL pretty soon, so you really should sort this out.
