Hello Red Hat HelpDesk My name is Kristijan and work like RH support engineer. I don't know whom to address regarding this issue. I have a Customer ticket with following problem: When he log in to RHN > Channels > Channel Name ( Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 for 32-bit x86 Server) ) > Packages 7196 he is getting the package list, he has the right to download rpm packages. What's more: he can download them by clicking the package name acl (see the attachment), which takes him to the page https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/software/packages/details/Overview.do?pid=387100 On that page, there is a Download Package link at the bottom of the page, which works deliciously. What is not working is download multiple packages in one download. And it should work. It used to work. This is probably an issue with the RHN software. And very probably, this has nothing to do with admin rights. Now, I would like to say that this option is working for me and it used to work for Customer, too. It stopped working a year ago, unfortunately. If Customer would create a new user for his Org, it works for that user, but not for him ' user (szivan) '. Customer account number is 736503. Thank you for helping me.

"Download Packages" has a number of known issues. The primary one is that it should only allow for 25 packages at a time, but a) the logic allows for 25 package *names* at a time, which can result in more than 25 *packages*, and b) an unrelated bug involving error-messages can result in the "Only 25 at once" message never making it back to the user. There are also edge cases when the resulting tarball is "too big" and fails to be transferred before the proxy timeout kicks in. BZ 590136 is the oldest public BZ I can find for the Download Packages problem. I am marking all the other ones I can find as duplicates of that one, and raising '136's priority.
