I only download once to burn a dvd. Thereafter, I download the updates. I only fetch the DVD about two days after the release. I also go to a site half way around the world, where the typical linux developer is asleep (local time 9pm, remote time, 3am), so that that mirror is not under heavy load. I get fairly good download times. With updates I use the designated mirror list. Usually find that updates rarely take more then 10 minutes of download time. No, I do not have super high speed, only DSL speed. I am not concerned about a difference of 10 megabytes, I am concerned that the rpm is received without corruption due to transmission errors. This is caught by rpm or yum.

Dial up is one in particular. -sv -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list</pre></blockquote></td></tr></table>
