In addition to using a mirror or two, there's also the problem (in *my* 
experience) that up2date doesn't know how to resume a broken 
connection.  (So if you get 23 MB of the 24 MB file and the connection 
is lost, you throw away the 23 MB and start all over again next time.)  
So if you must use up2date, grab all the files you need using something 
like WS-FTP Pro or *anything* that can resume transfers and put them in 
the up2date spool directory. Then when you start up2date, it will find 
everything already downloaded and merrily go ahead and install.

Even better, use something like apt with synaptic, which will download 
from multiple sources concurrently, resume broken connections, and in 
general just is easier to get along with.  Yum might work better as 
well, I just haven't tried it out.
