Hi Dennis:

I don't know what you are using for ftp, but I've had great success with gftp 
(erven under kde).  Also, I try to use mirrors from the Fedora-Mirrors list 
that are fairly close when possible.  For me that is either UofOregon or 
Stanford and tend to do major downloads late at night when local traffic MAY 
be lower.

HTH,
Tom
