This morning when I software updated it downloaded a single file for RTEMS Fedora 12 - it was some kind of package descriptor update.  I then decided to update again and sure enough it had new RTEMS packages to download.  However, for the last two hours it's been trying to download the 2.8 MB file "rtems-4.10-powerpc-rtems4.10-gcc-4.4.3-10.fc12 (i686)".

I see this type of thing with a  VM of F12  on Virtualbox even on
our internal network when there is no load.  My laptop running
F12 never has this problem.

Ralf can explain another possible oddity that some have seen
but this doesn't sound like it.

Instead of using the GUI, use the command line to see more
progress details.  It prints hash marks and progress messages.

yum upgrade or yum -y upgrade if you don't want to answer questions
yes. :)

Yesterday, the upload  link was running 100% most of the US daytime
hours.  It was syncing the repositories with rtems.info and rtems.eu.
But right now, there is very little traffic.
