[PlanetCCRMA] Problem with installing RPMs

Yes, and I was able to install the entire Fedora 6 upgrade which was several 
hundred MB.

DSL -> DSL Router -> Ethernet cable -> built in Ethernet on Dell 4550.  I 
just accepted default options for Fedora 6, and everything else, including 
email, web, and Fedora upgrade is working fine.

Is there a repository mirror or something I could try?

Thanks,
Ben
