fedora Up2date

i am new to fedora (i guess to some extent we all are)

anyway, i started the Up2date from the exclamation point icon on the
toolbar as root, and it seems to be successfully getting packages
(some number of which it complains are corrupted)... but it's so
slow! it's been running for a couple of days now. every once in a while
i notice a popup complaining of corrupted file (presumably it's stopped
during that time).

is this slowness of Up2date normal?

my current kernel is 2.4.22-1.2115.nptl

thanks,

-rei

I have only ever used up2date once years ago when i installed Redhat-X (cant
remember which version it was, anyway, up2date uses i belive the ftp
protocol, so if one has a megabit cable link, then one should expect a
megabit performance.
In otherowrds if it was painly slow then something is/was possably wrong with
your inet connection, be it configuration of hardware only you can see that
at your location as you were so polite as not to mention what you use.

Sounds like a question for the Redhat team at Redhat.com or fedora.com.
