This may be totally the wrong forum for asking this question....if it is, I am sorry. Maybe you can steer me in the right direction if it is...... Anyway, I have noticed that when trying to do updates through rhn which would be particularly large after fresh RHEL 4 installs, the updates time out. Makes me think that rhn is limiting bandwidth....because our bandwidth can burst up to around 1.5mB/sec. and if it sustains there for a short time, then up2date drops out. Is there some sort of switch I can pass for up2date to limit bandwidth up2date uses on our end? Some other sites do this as well and I use wget with the limit-rate switch and it works like a champ..... Like I said, if this is the wrong forum...sorry....
