I'm getting glacial response from download.fedora.redhat.com, and I'm an
offical mirror.  

(by glacial I mean that rsync is taking hours to build the file list,
and that tcpdump says that download.fedora.redhat.com is taking 20-40 
seconds to respond to a packet.)

Nobody believed that I could build a space station here.  So I built it anyway.
It sank into the vortex.  So I built another one.  It sank into the vortex.  
The third station burned down, fell over then sank into the vortex.  The fourth
station just vanished.  And the fifth station, THAT stayed!
