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/. Wolf
