yum on a dial up with 2 hour limit
this limits to about 20mb
i know its possible to download the rpm with something like gftp or wget
and put them in the right folder, but this is a bit of a hassle.
any ideas?
Do file an RFE against yum and company to do reget type things if the
file is 'short'. I have lost count of the number of times yum and
up2date time out and the local chunk fails the checksum test. Then
a new download is started. Fixing this could help the load on mirrors
and should be done...
For now use.
Wget - The non-interactive network downloader.
If the server supports regetting, it will instruct the server to
continue the download from where it left off.
