Last night around 22:20 local I started a F9 HTTP install from

broadband connection that normally gets me a full CD iso in 20-30 minutes,
and a Factory install start to finish in about an hour. A little over 11
hours later Anaconda announced preparation to install (downloading selected
packages apparently) had finished. Now, an hour later, it's proceeded to
install only 225 of the total of 859 selected packages.

I think that's a little unfair to Fedora because I think that the
mirors are overloaded. I had a hard time with the net install and
gave up and pulled the live cd and installed from there. Then I just
pulled the repository from mirrors.kernel.org. Install times are a
lot better from local NFS.
