Take a look at the public mirrors that support rsync here http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/publiclist/Fedora/11/i386/ . IITK mirror does not support that, right now and the bandwidth for IITM is very less. So choose any other mirror and just run this command rsync -av <url to the directory to be copied> <path to the directory where it has to be saved> url is usually of this type rsync://ftp.iitm.ac.in/fedora. Its better to use rsync because it can be put in cron to automatically update the repositories. Google about rsync. -- Roshan Kumar Singh http://roshansingh.wordpress.com http://sourceforge.net/projects/gscribble
