Description of problem:
I have a friend who needs severe updating.  up2date seems pretty bad
at large numbers of updates, so I would recommend putting out an ISO
image of the updates every month and distribute it using BitTorrent.

Speaking of BitTorrent, up2date needs to be outfitted with a
BitTorrent system so that those who opt in can donate some bandwidth
and consequently reduce stress on the servers and cost.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Fedora Core 3 is now maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security
updates only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and
reassign to the Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and
hasn't been resolved in the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test
release, reopen and change the version to match.

Thank you!

Closing per lack of response to previous comment.  If this still occurs on FC3
or FC4 and is a security issue, please assign to Fedora Legacy and the
appropriate version.  The bug could also be filed against RHEL if it is relevant
there.

up2date has been replaced by pirut and pup in FC5 and FC6, the still fully
supported versions of Fedora Core, so this bug will not be fixed unless it is a
security issue.
