Ouch!  Unless you are on a dialup, sumthin' ain't right.  My download 
speed never maxed out(when I was watching, it stayed at about half) but 
it still only took about 12 hours. This is with a 1Mb down.

You should limit the upload rate to about 80% of your maximum. The 350 
the fedora website tells you is *WAY* too fast for most connections.  My 
upload is 128kb/s so I limit mine to 11-13kB/s.  Also, if you are behind 
a firewall, make sure you are forwarding the necessary ports.

It's a kind of blancing act 'cause your download speed is directly 
related to the upload speed but if you max out the upload it can choke 
off the download as well.
