Luckily I have a broadband connection. One of the reasons I am so happy with linux is that people are working so hard, at practically no cost to me, on making the OS the best they can. Of course I also took into consideration that f8 is already downloadable, so I assumed f7 is in its final stages and thus the reason for so many updates. However after using for 3 weeks I think I have already had over 20 additional updates. Just more hard work being completed. So the downloads of the distributions are probably being updated somewhat regularly to try and help keep it down, mine was somewhere around 150 updates right after install.
