Thanks. Now it will be slow :-)

But people downloading from some unknown mirror should always be very
aware of the possibility of trojans!

Why using an Amercian mirror while sitting in Germany? Jsut stupid.
Use German or at least European mirrors.

That is an official mirror server from the official mirror list at
fedora.redhat.com.

OK, then it is fine. Then I'm wondering why the OP did mention it.
Oh well, there are better things to think of :-)

They haven't work, yet and I don't know whether they do now! I experienced that
there's no working mirror except this one. But most mirrors are open now in europe.

There is no such problem so long as you verify the MD5sums against the
signed MD5sum list. With this information, you can get your ISOs from
anywhere and rest assured you have what the Fedora Core group are
distributing.

People may read your advice and think that they don't need to check the
MD5sums because they got their copies of ISOs from an official mirror. This
would be a bad assumption. Do not believe that because you got your ISOs
from a certain place that those files are okay, regardless of where you got
them. You should always check the MD5sums.

I used it for two or three of the isos, and the checksums matched the
official ones. It was the fastest server I found.
