I decided to download Fedora Core 2 test 2 today. But I didn't want it to take all day, and I didn't want to deal with finding a fast mirror. So I installed Bit Torrent. I had heard good things about bit torrent from various people, but I was still really impressed by how fast the files came down. [Obviously, having lots of bandwidth helps.] If you haven't used it, and you have a fast pipe, I highly recomment you look into it. I managed to download all four of the Fedora ISOs in just over 1hr 15min... Screen shot (3K) attached. :) -- Derek D.
