Which makes this whole *early-access* exercise silly.  I'm getting
120kB/s from BitTorrent, which is about 12x what I am getting from RHN.

It is discouraging that despite purchasing RHN subscriptions for my
various and sundry machines, I have little use for it. (I don't even
bother registering most of them.)  Instead, I use BitTorrent or rsync
for downloads, and APT for package management. (Thanks Matthias!)

The Red Hat Network technology is unfortunately hobbled by the
business model. I don't really fault Red Hat; free riding has no
easy solution. :-/
