Slow update

[Sam Williams]

Thanks Rahul and Rick.

Canceled and restarted, chopping out many packages but it's still slow.

I'm using up2date and Ctrl-C doesn't seem to reestablish a mirror
connection.  

I'm slogging along at 2 kB/sec (my network reports 1.3M download speed).
Maybe I need to change a setting somewhere so Fedora knows it isn't on a
phone modem.  Didn't want to adjust anything until I knew I was on current
versions--or maybe that isn't important. 

At this rate, I should be up and running by end of the week.

Cheers,

Sam

On my FC3 machine I get the same slowness occasionally while using "yum 
update".  If you press CTRL-C while yum is trying to download, it 
cancels the connection and makes another connection to another mirror, 
picking up right where it left off.  I had to do CTTRL-C several times 
once when each mirror was pretty slow until it finally found a fast one.
