The default of 16 connections is IMO too many. The HTTP spec says that a single user client should not use more than two persistent ones per server (which on the other hand is somewhat modest these days, mainstream browsers limit it to 6 or so I think), and yum's downloads don't come from many different servers that often. I'd imagine that something like 4 would be more appropriate default. Even better if there would be two max limits, a global one across all servers in the download batch, and a per-server one. http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616#section-8.1.4 _______________________________________________ Yum mailing list Yum@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.baseurl.org/mailman/listinfo/yum
