Seems like a real problem with Pirut (the default graphical package add/remove
tool), and not a package review request. Fixing.

Comment 2 Seth Vidal 2006-08-10 11:21:47 UTC
your description about other things being usable. Do you want to control the
amount of bandwidth used by the software updating system?

Comment 3 Ian 2006-08-10 11:53:02 UTC
Yes that would be ideal.

Comment 4 Rahul Sundaram 2006-08-10 19:58:01 UTC
The auto close issue is already reported in
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182499

Thanks Rahul, I did do a search but obviously not thorough enough. 
The problem with selecting multiple programs for install or removal is the 
amount of time/bandwidth consumed. (From what I've been able to find Pirut 
doesn't have a pause/resume function). Which means once started that's it, 
unless I want to play frozen bubble or something I just sit and wait for it to 
finish before I can access the net again.

Comment 6 Jeremy Katz 2006-09-11 20:52:45 UTC
You can configure throttling in /etc/yum.conf -- see man yum.conf for the details

As Rahul says, the autoclose issue is bug 182499
