I wish there was a way to presto the doggone filelists dnloads. THAT would save a pile of time. It's been faster to fire up firefox, hit the webpage of the everything or update files, copy file location, fire up wget -c <filename.rpm> to get a single file. Getting past megabyte filelist information is the killer via a modem. Presto'ing that would be sweet.
