You could game the bandwidth management with wget or curl, using their continuation capability. When the throttling starts, stop the program, wait a few seconds, and then restart with the continuation option. That way, you download the large file in several 25 MB chunks at high speed. Only useful for occasional large files, not in general, though you could script it. Put the downloaded file in the local yum repository (under /var/yum somewhere) where yum will find it when it tries to update, or install it directly using the -C option. > The Question. > > The network admin asked if Fedora was like Ubuntu that will continue > downloading where it left off? I stated I doubted it as the display > kept going back to zero This has been my experience as well. Internally, I think yum uses python-urlgrabber to fetch the packages, and it seems to have no memory of past attempts. There is probably a reason this behavior was adopted, but I don't know it. You might be able to use the throttle and bandwidth options to adjust for your bandwidth management.
