I am running 10.2 and about to convert to 10.3.

I have always wondered why rpms are downloaded and then installed. And then the next one downloaded ....

Instead of downloading the next RPM to be installed while the previous one is being installed with a potential delay if the second download beats the installation of the previous RPM.

Wouldn't that speed up updates a lot ?

Just curious!
