[TriLUG] Problem with Cent OS up2date

[David McDowell]

I'm working on updating my Dev box from CentOS 4.1 to 4.2 as I type
this message.  It seems to be going perfectly well and speedy, headers
downloaded fast and all available bandwidth in my T1 (160k/sec at the
moment of the 192 available) is pulling down the rpms... no prob.  It
Just Works (tm).  I'm using up2date, not yum update.  My sources file
is untouched from the default install.  I'm now halfway through the
packages downloading while typing.  Maybe you guys are just getting
routed to slow or bad mirrors?  There is still a surge of people
trying to do this update to be sure.
