Two http:// choices for installation sources for YOU downloads have been added and by my testing have caused a dramatic speed improvement from 20-30 minutes to get the list of patches, updates, security fixes to 2-3 minutes if that long. Very quick for me. YMMV.
As I mentioned the other day, the reason YOU is so slow getting the list of patches is because it does an ftp login for every single file that it downloads (the list of patches has about 130 files of 2..3 kbytes each). If the server you connect to is slow acepting a new login, the process can be real slow. Maybe, this is a guess, updating from an "http" server instead of an "ftp" server is faster, because it has no login process. -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
