I am downloading Cooker using a connection that tops out at 26.6, I have no
choice since the are no higher speed connections available in this area,
and I do not know anyone who lives or works anywhere where higher speed
connections are available (actually I know some people who work in Dover,
but none of them are employed by companies that have high speed connections
or CD burners for that matter) This is why I want to download individual
RPMs instead of ISOs, they allow me to skip large RPMs that I have no need
for such as theme sets and locale related files, saving me considerable
amounts of download time.
