I had problems connecting to RedHat's FTP site. It seemed to always be bumping up against max users. I'd hate to have to try and install directly from the site. On the other hand, once I did get in the downloads ran fairly quickly. I spent about a day downloading all the packages I thought I'd need, set up an FTP server on my PC, and installed from there.
