Having problems downloading Fedora from the Redhat site or Mirror sites.

My WinXP system with IE has always had problems with downloading large files in HTTP or FTP, believe it is a windows limitation. So I tried to logon to an FTP site with an FTP program but none of the mirrors seem to work, I can not see a list of files in the FTP program. What user name and password is required for these open sites? I tried "anonymous" but get the errors...
"Address lookup of "ftp://redhat.secsup.org/pub/linux/redhat/fedora/core/" failed. It may be misspelled, or your computer may not be connected to the network or Internet. Also check that your DNS and local name servers are properly configured and responding."
