Specifying How Yum Downloads Updates

[Robert L Cochran]

In Fedora 10, it looks like yum downloads updates in ascending order on 
the size of the package. So all the small packages download first, and 
the large packages like openoffice download last. In Fedora 11, that is 
how it started out. But now yum appears to be downloading packages 
alphabetically by package name. That means if package "a" is very large 
it will still be downloaded before package "b" which is quite small.

I'm using Fedora 11 Beta just about 100% of the time now.

How can I get yum to download in ascending order on the size of the 
package? I love getting all the little downloads first. That is most of 
the updates, leaving only a few large packages to do at the end.

Thanks

Bob
