First of all, I want to thank the people behind the local mirror of Fedora 9. I was able to download all 6 CD images at an average speed of 550k bytes per second.
However, the DVD download has been much more of a problem. Am I being too impatient, or is it just that the DVD version is missing? Will it appear soon? Meanwhile a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, and I have it. :-) I downloaded the jigdo file for the DVD image, added the Israeli mirror to it (with a few false starts) and proceeded to download the DVD image by individual files. As with the CD images, I got an average speed of 550k BPS, BUT many of the necessary files are missing from the mirror. Thanks to finding a web page with the documentation on how to specify multiple sources, I was able to get jigdo to download from an alternate source. I'm now filling the image up with download speeds ranging from 2k to 60k bytes per second as jigdo alternates mirrors. I guess if I really wanted to fix it, I'd wait until I saw a fast mirror and add it to the jigdo file. :-) Any suggestions beside just wait for the jigdo to complete in its own time, or wait for the mirror to catch up? Please don't suggest supplying the files from the CD images to jigdo, I made a backup copy of the ISO images and deleted them. I don't have the disk space to have two copies of all of the files, and don't want to copy the images back to the server and copy the files off of them. That probably would have made the most sense.
