This results in a rather bad taste due to transfer rate and dropouts to someone who's expecting to get their box updated in a reasonable time. Unfortunately, this problem is only going to get worse as the number of updates increases. A question for anyone "in the know": Is this a problem that will be addressed either in the near term or should this be something that should be entered bugzilla? It's more of a process problem than a bug. Regards, Mike Klinke
