Thanks Rahul and Rick. Canceled and restarted, chopping out many packages but it's still slow. I'm using up2date and Ctrl-C doesn't seem to reestablish a mirror connection. I'm slogging along at 2 kB/sec (my network reports 1.3M download speed). Maybe I need to change a setting somewhere so Fedora knows it isn't on a phone modem. Didn't want to adjust anything until I knew I was on current versions--or maybe that isn't important. At this rate, I should be up and running by end of the week.

If you press CTRL-C while yum is trying to download, it cancels the connection and makes another connection to another mirror, picking up right where it left off. I had to do CTTRL-C several times once when each mirror was pretty slow until it finally found a fast one.
