Disk space could still be the problem. Depends on what you still need to download and how big it is. >On the disk space front, can anyone tell me why setup stores copies of files >in subdirectories named after the mirror. This means that I end up with >several copies of the same .tar.bz2 files, as I often have to switch mirrors >(they seem to be very busy once in a while). If you're really looking for details, check the email archives on this. The reason for the differing directories, what they contain, and even utilities for "cleaning them up" have been discussed before. However, you should not be ending up with the exact same files from each mirror, at least if you keep your set of mirrors constant. Pick the few that work best for you and don't change them. That's the easiest solution for this problem. If you see something that would suggest that a persistent set of mirrors will give you the same package files for each mirror, please provide the list with a list of steps that shows this behavior.
