I tried this a while back. All I got was a "server overload" error, and IIRC that took a long time to show up. In any case, it didn't work. I tend to agree that this would be better done on the server side, but someone needs to do some load calculations. Maybe server-side for the base packages and client-side for the rest or something of that sort. poc -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
