Large rpm's are very time consuming to update and/or install.
Guess I answered my own question earlier, I ran gzip on openopfice.org-core and it went from 84MB to 83MB.
Fairly loaded question, don't say get a better ISP, I have a very fast connection at home, and this d/l view was taken at work with an extremely fat pipe. The problem is size of rpm's being downloaded.
Debian seems to d/l much faster, not exact version but you can get some idea size wise.
http://packages.debian.org/etch/openoffice.org-core
wget http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openoffice.org/openoffice.org-core_2.0.4.dfsg.2-7etch5_amd64.deb
There package is 34MB.
This is an example of one of the larger apps out there I realize that, I just grabbed the last one to use as an example. At 34MB it still takes time, but .deb is 50MB cheaper that the .rpm.
Is deltarpm's the solution? Has anyone talked to all the fedora mirrors to have a deltarpm repository?
