0. We don't know which server you're downloading from. I'm assuming
   "download.fedora.redhat.com" but you still need to be specific.

1. Some downloaders have issues with downloading large files. Try using
   curl or wget.

2. It doesn't matter where you get the file from, if the MD5SUMs match
   and the GPG signature is valid, you know for sure it's from us.

3. If you're still worried about validity, download the file using
   BitTorrent. It will check the hashes for you. To get to the
   BitTorrent file, please see http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/.

Please let us know which mirror is having these problems and what
download client you are using, and I will be able to contact the proper
people.
