Downloading hundreds of different files is much slower than downloading one file of the same size. Also, the initial spin is likely (?) to be downloaded via bittorrent, which is not an option for yum when it needs individual packages. A single iso download can also feed multiple PCs (up to 5 in my case), which is far more efficient than downloading the same hundreds of files several times over. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
