--- Comment #10 from Michael Schwendt <mschwendt@xxxxxxxxx> ---
> Version:        0.2
> Release:        20130620svn12%{?dist}

Something is missing at the very left side of the Release tag here.

There are naming guidelines for snapshot packages:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:NamingGuidelines#Snapshot_packages

Is this a pre-release or a post-release?

At  https://code.google.com/p/yum-axelget/downloads/list  there is a file
yum-axelget-1.0-0.3.20130617.fc18.noarch.rpm that's only four days old.


> Summary:        A plugin for Yum based on Axel that accelerates your download's rate

In Anaconda and package tools, which display these summaries, it looks better
(and more concise) when omitting these leading articles:

  Summary: Download accelerator plug-in for Yum
  Summary: Plug-in for Yum that accelerates download speed

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Examples_of_good_package_summaries

Mentioning that "Axel" is being used as the backend is an unimportant detail in
my opinion. It would be entirely okay to have just the %description explain
that.


> Requires:       axel, yum-presto, yum-plugin-fastestmirror

Not "yum" as a direct requirement?


> %description
> The following Yum plugin based on Axel speeds up your 
> yum downloads ...

Pedantic: "... Yum downloads". One could split the description into more
shorter sentences and drop tech-details, such as "opening ports" or
marketing-speak, such as "dramatically speeds up your update experience".

  %description
  This is a plug-in for the Yum package tool. It speeds up your downloads
  using the Axel download accelerator client.
