Can't access fedora site no more

Hi everyone,

I was humbly downloading the ISOs through BitTorrent for Windows when at around 56% my computer mysteriously restarted itself. Now I cannot access the torrent tracker, nor the Fedora (www.fedora.redhat.com) site.

Anyone have any idea on what's happened? Did a hacker take control of my computer? Or did my ISP not like me downloading large files so blocked me from accessing these sites?

And can I resume my download or will I have to download 1.2 GB all over again?

Thanks,
Vince

Sometime around 2 or 3PM CDT my internet connection froze with 90% complete. I had to power down my cable modem to get the net back. After sever tries I finally got the torrent going again. It resume where it left off. I finished at 5:10pm CDT.

What BitTorrent client did you use? I'm just using the plain-vanilla one at the BitTorrent homepage. Anyone know how I can resume the download?
