Don't know exactly how many packages are actually part of it; pup said 15 security upgrades. So far, the machine has been at it ever since 9:21 AM, it's 11:06 PM now, which makes about 13 hours 45 minutes. A little less than 40 megabytes downloaded so far. That's about 800 bytes /second, which is **SLOW**. Any ideas what's going on? Server problems? Or maybe ATT (my ISP) has put some kind of a throttle on such downloads.
