Fedora 8 --import problem

[Albert E. Sten-Clanton]

Greetings!

I've just reinstalled Fedora 8 from the DVD image dated 4 December.  I tried using

rpm -iv http://speakupmodified.org/speakupmodified-release.rpm



and got the following message:



error: skipping 

rpm -iv http://speakupmodified.org/speakupmodified-release.rpm - transfer failed - Unknown or unexpected error

(The lines are different here.)



I looked repeatedly at the howto, and don't think this is one of my typing screw-ups.  What am I missing, though?



Thanks!



Al
