Are you using the apt/synaptic for RH9?? Or did you download the Fedora
versions??
I run apt/synaptic too, and it can be very slow at times, but I found it
to be faster than using up2date/yum. Plus I found that if you
download/update files in small chunks, it seems to behave better than
downloading a very large list of files. (Don't ask why?? As I found it
to be better this way).
Also the apt/synaptic mirror, is not redhat, it's from
http://ayo.freshrpms.net/.
