For me feedback and > control of the process is a good thing. If you just want to keep using the connection while a download is taking place, you might benefit from traffic shaping, and possibly from the Wonder Shaper (Google for it). yum-presto is also good, but it only reduced the initial update from my own F9 to F11 uprade by about 1/3. It only looks for one level of delta-RPM, so after there have been multiple updates there isn't a delta path. Yum from the command line gives good feedback on what and how much, and reasonable feedback on how long. (I don't use Packagekit's applet, so I don't know about it.) -- ____________________________________________________________________ TonyN.:' <mailto:tonynelson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> ' <http://www.georgeanelson.com/> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
