Description of problem: Yum has had parallel HTTP downloads of packages for quite a while. This helps keep the user's internet connection busy at all times -- vs the connect, transfer a file, tear down connection latency of single-file-at-a-time downloads. Since Fedup is based on Yum, it should be easy to add parallel-download functionality to Fedup. And it is! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Latest git on github/wgwoods/fedup Additional info: Please take my pull request here: https://github.com/wgwoods/fedup/pull/8 Thanks! :-) You may want to spend some time figuring out how Yum keeps the download bar UI in the face of many downloads. I'm not quite sure, but I care about parallel downloads more than the progress bar. I love fedup, it's worked beautifully for several F18->F19 upgrades for me so far. Keep up the good work :).
Thanks for the patches, and the kind words! Unfortunately, though, I'm hesitant to apply your patchset if it's going to kill the progress meter. People get really twitchy if they don't see anything printed to screen for a few seconds. See (e.g.) bug 972358. Still, if we can work out how yum-cli does its async download progress meters we can probably just do whatever yum does and everything will Just Work. Or at least it'll be yum's problem if/when it doesn't.
Hey Will, That sounds fine to me. I bet using yum's progress bar won't be that hard, I just didn't have time to look into it earlier (and won't today, $DAYJOB). Thanks.
