Fedora 8 will be available at my house in Las Cruces, NM USA in 23 hours. I have been d/l with my Darn Slow Link (DSL) at 27kb/sec from a mirror overseas. I doubt that my connection is causing any problems to the mirror.
And Fedora 8 will be installed and used on my system in bout 1.5 hours after I install it, starting in bout 30 seconds :P
Figured I'd try and download FC8 x86_64 and so far so good :)

of course the files are hidden so you need to know the name.
cd mirror/fedora/linux/releases/8/Fedora/x86_64
