There are many mirrors out there.
The mirror
http://mirrors.kernel.org/fedora/ ?
it has never failed and it is very fast.
Hi JD,
Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried the
mirrors.kernel.org today
and have found that it will work very well. It is fast and I know that it
will be reliable. I have been very frustrated in my search for new
mirrors to use for Fedora updates. I could not find a new mirror list and
the old one I had or did find had entries for servers that were no longer
in service or had not been updated in years!
Thanks again!
Bill
