The repodata directory of packman contains about 2.5 MB for 10.2 and more than double for 10.1; yours is about 2 Mb. That's very noticiable for a modem. If than could be reduced somehow, it would be very nice. For a modem that means... seven minutes download. For an adsl at 100KB/S it's under a minute, not important compared to the half an hour it takes processing or who knows what. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
