There are archives: F18 release: http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/releases/18/ (that should be all on one line, just in case it word-wraps in this message) F18 updates: http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/updates/18/ (that should be all on one line, just in case it word-wraps in this message) For the record, here's a link to the Fedora EOL list, which also contains the date the release went officially EOL: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/End_of_life According to that list, F18 went EOL on 14 January 2014 (almost three years ago). NO UPDATES have been made since the release went EOL. These are snapshots of the repos as of that date. If you need to, say, update the OpenSSL stuff to get past the heartbleed bug, you'll need to probably build it yourself from a source RPM from a later release or a tarball. Good luck and remember that Fedora releases go EOL about a month after the following release plus one is released (e.g. F18 went EOL 30 days after F20 was released). If you need something longer lived, use CentOS or something like (gasp!) Ubuntu LTS (long term support). Even THOSE go EOL, eventually, so keep up!
