Both I think. I just started d/l i86-64 version and it is staggering
along at 27 KBits/second which is about right for my DSL system. It is
around 250KB/second and faster one way or the other but forget which. I
am too far from the telephone office for the faster DSL. I will have the
iso file in 32 hours it says :-[
You should cancel the download and download the .torrent file instead,
and use that with bittorrent. From a console (# means do it as root, $
as normal user)
# yum install bittorrent
$ wget http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/torrents/Fedora-7-x86_64.torrent
$ bittorrent-curses Fedora-7-x86_64.torrent
Unless your ISP is detecting and trashing bittorrent traffic, after some
time this should max out your downstream.

I think the current d/l is about as fast as it goes. It has been
normal to wait days for a DVD size thing.
Hope for no power outage :-)
