OK, I see the same thing happening.

I was working with development snapshots before FC2-T2 appears and this was 
happening then too so this is not something that just appeared with FC2-T2.

I just do not remember but this may have happened with packages other than the 
kernel ... I just do not remember.  However, it is happening now with the 
kernel and is repeatable.

The first tip that there is a problem is that the progress bars do not show 
download completion and yet up2date is in the mode to proceed with the 
install.
