Started DL-ing 32bit F13 just after 10AM and it was FAST!!  Then, just before it finished throughput slowed to a crawl. :-(  Went outside to kill weeds and bugs, came back inside and noticed DL aborted 100M short and Firefox thought it was done (i.e. filename is Fedora-13-i686-Live.iso not Fedora-13-i686-Live.iso.part) so had to restart.  Now getting about 50K/sec, so 2+ hours to go.  Well, grandma always told me, "Good things come to those who wait."

64bit come through just fine...
