Hello,

I am trying to upgrade my system and through our corporate
firewall/network filters/etc, the bandwidth is limited.  Today while
doing an upgrade, yum was downloading five packages at a time.

Have you visited "man yum.conf" yet?

There's lots of stuff about bandwidth throttling and stuff like that
in it:

          max_connections

           The maximum number of simultaneous connections.  This overrides
           the urlgrabber default of 5 connections.  Note that there
           are also implicit per-mirror limits and the downloader
           honors these too.


Yes I did. I was in a rush and missed the max_connections. I was trying to read it on my phone. When I was reading the manual, I never thought of connections as a way of limiting the number of packages being downloaded at once. Problem is you get focused on packages and forget that it is a connections issue.

That is what I am looking for.

Thank you.

Now to go to work and see if I pissed off the admins by trying to download overnight with the hope that the throttling was lifted overnight.

Robin
