Was receiving timeouts, and increased the timeout to 300 seconds. Now, when trying to download primary.xml.gz files...the ETA to completion is over 500 minutes. I'm assuming the mirror sites are saturated? I'm running on a T-1 connection, so I'm guessing the bandwidth problem isn't on my end. </FONT></SPAN></DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=725060818-22082006><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV> <DIV><SPAN class=725060818-22082006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can effectively use yum?
