Why but rpm already does that (the freespace check).
Before installation, but not before download.
A download size of 2 GB does not mean only 2 GB is needed. It also needs space for the uncompressed bits. And, if you are changing something that is running (the old file is in use) disk space can be quite large until the old items are no longer needed (typically a reboot - starting bits here and there is usually a recipe for a different type of problem).
Correct - so the upcharge (add-on to the pure download size) must even be larger.
I always download all first, and then let the install happen. Nothing worse that having 1/2 the system updated when a needed bit fails to download.
See my original post, that's what I did as well. There was not even enough space to download all 2900 packages...but better it fails here, than during installation....
