Unfortunately it's not up to date.  And ftp.redhat.com is currently not 
beating 6K/sec.  Annoying on a line that can do 150K/sec+.

Hmm.  Pinging ftp.redhat.com is showing loss:
62 packets transmitted, 44 packets received, 29% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max/mdev = 215.175/255.978/307.510/15.481 ms

Am I just lucky here, or is everyone seeing this?
