Never tried the KDE one, not even sure if it available in Fedora, but the Gwget works fine. Just a guess here but the source Karl is talking about is probably Southern Cal. Fast site, reliable, and they offer http, ftp, and rsync. http://mirrors.usc.edu ftp://mirrors.usc.edu If your model 'T' modem downloads get kicked from there it would be you and not them. ;-) -- David
