I'm not complaining, just adding another point to Heiko's data set to confirm that "yes, up2date will return the GPG error with large updates partway through and you'll have to download all the data again". Heiko and others should add their reports to Bugzilla as I'm sure Red Hat engineers would be more likely to read them there than on the list. Then whatever problems the up2date tool has can be addressed. Oisin Feeley
