I guess this is the thread/information I was searching for. I've been
trying to use up2date for almost two months and have yet to be
successful with it -- I start it up in the evening before I got to bed
and expect most of it to be completed in the morning. No such luck.
When I get up and get my coffee, I find that it apparently quit working
about 30 minutes after I started it. Although I do have a history of
connection problems, that's not it. My connection is still up and
running -- RH isn't.
To make matters worse, it's impossible to get up2date to close -- I have
to kill it.
Either enough people haven't complained, or no one cares. Either way,
while I appreciate the "demo", I fail to understand why "they" won't fix
this. From what I've seem of the demo, it's certainly not a service I'd
actually PAY for.
If anyone has any suggestions for getting around this, I'd sure
appreciate them.

well, there is a way around it, but it takes some time, just download
the updates in steps of 8 or so. I've had the same problem, Up2date
hanging at a particular file or after the download, it says it's
installing but this takes 3 days and still nothing happens. I've found
out that if you update in small steps like 8 per time and the kernel as
a final update it'll all work just fine.

Thanks for trying -- it didn't work, but it was worth the shot.
