It says it is downloading the remainder of the file. It says about 4 hours remaining, good speed for this satellite connection. I wanted to use wget to begin with but didn't find the right url right off and decided just to let it go from the Fedora download page. I just tried rsync a couple of times on two different source addresses but it kept giving me error message: [root@box6 bobg]# rsync -av http://fedora.osuos.org/linux/releases/13/Fedora/i386/iso/Fedora-13-i386-DVD.iso /home/bobg/Downloads/Fedora-13-i386-DVD.iso ssh: connect to host http port 22: Connection timed out rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [Receiver] rsync error: unexplained error (code 255) at io.c(601) [Receiver=3.0.7] Likely something I was doing wrong? Thanks all for the help. I always worry about bandwidth usage since I'm limited to 17 gb down/30 days and I am at 52% of that this morning after yesterdays failed attempt.
