(HiWAAY is one of the mirrors listed in http://fedora.redhat.com/download/mirrors.html ). We don't thank the Fedora mirror people enough. It's a thankless role, nearly invisible to the end users when everything works properly, needs huge amounts of bandwidth and (I imagine) quite a bit of attention. Chris, can I take this opportunity to thank you, HiWAAY, and the other mirror operators for the essential work you play in keeping Fedora viable?
