I tried several different hours. Hi François, The main server is often slow, are you able to download quickly from anywhere? It sounds like you're already trying different Fedora mirrors and finding them slow as well. You can see the complete list of mirrors here: http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html You should be able to find a mirror that is quicker for you. Of course, it takes some time for the files available on the fedora servers to appear on each mirror before you can download from them. Good luck, Sean
