Redhat online ?

Well, I am trying to get Redhat8 but the online FTP is too slow and times out after a few hrs.
Any ideas where else can I get it from online? Any FTP sites that are uncommon ?
Google hasnt been much help because those are all very common websites, and i can't get myself downloaded without timing out.

Thanks for the help.

There are alot of mirrors on the redhat homepage you can use..

I grabbed mine off a local server at top speed..
Where are you from ?

Heres a good site that has all the popular distros available to download and normally at a reasonable speed.

www.linuxiso.org

Hope this helps

Well, the mirrors also get timed out, im not on broadband or ISDN, it's a dial-up connection.

Ahhh.. are you using a ftp program like Flash FXP that supports resuming ??
Cause that would help alot if you have timeouts...

But would it not be easyier to buy a Redhat 8 distro rather than downloading 5 x 700mb on a dialup ??

You're not on broadband or ISDN?
You could be downloading for days and days man, you sure you dont wanna shell out for the distro, doesnt cost much and would save you countless hours downloading!

Go on, you'll thank me in the end :D

lol r3b, i guess , im still trying for one last time.
Okay, consider im in canada, i think they would have fast enough servers, wouldnt they ?

oh and yes, thanks guys

Download Acclerator could also do the job, but i would choose FTP over ANY protocol anytime, for downloading =)

Well i never physically been to canada, but i downloaded from some pretty fast servers there.. so im guessing they have more than a few =)

Search for the IIT ftps. I had a list but I've forgotten them. They're usually really fast for us as they're hosted in India and are physically very close.
