It can take a long time. There is precious little bandwidth when compared to the amount of people trying to access the same server. Please read the archives of this list, you'll find your best best has and always will be to access a mirror. I admit to being impatient myself and have been willing to put several mirrors into my up2date sources list in order to get a quick response. But, as I said before in response to your original Micro$oft $uck$ post, you might be better off getting updates from other sources.when i had installed my Fedora, FC (i think2) I have notice a red ! on my bottom right bar, where my time/date is at. It is taking forever to upgrade. I have notice that i was receiving couple of errors saying that some of my files was tampered with so i re-downloaded it all.
how long does it take to have a complete installation on a DSL line?
