This may sound like an odd request, but given there a large number of rpms
which need to be upgraded, it would be nice if I could download them as
quickly as possible. My ISP is quite a way from the USA, and the nearby
mirrors aren't always uptodate, or much faster.
Would it be possible to request (like ftpmail) the rpms, (uuencoded or
whatever), by email, and obviously only one by one?
It would be really handy as the download time would be due to traffic
between my ISP's mailserver and my machine, with no network delays.
Obviously if redhat thought the idea were sensible, mail of this sort
should have the lowest possible priority, compared to any other e-mail the
redhat mailservers move.
Any comments?
