I agree- I stick with the "official" fedora sites, and don't bother with 
livna or any of the others, just core and extras.
What I would do (and did until recently) with a slow internet connection 
is keep the upgrades to a minimum; being able to auto-update to the 
"latest and greatest any and all the time" is nice, but I would focus on 
whether or not the system is functioning properly, and whether or not 
the system is as secure as I can make it.
