Description Frédéric "LpSolit" Buclin 2011-11-23 16:27:00 CET

MageiaUpdate downloads 8 packages (by default) and then installs them, then downloads 8 again, installs them, etc... While it's installing already downloaded packages, it holds the downloads of the remaining packages, which is a waste of time, especially when installing large packages such as kernel. I suggest that it keeps downloading remaining packages while installing some of them to spare some time. A running download is not incompatible with the installation of a package, so there is no reason not to do it.

Hi, thanks for reporting this bug.
Assigned to the package maintainer.

(it's more a urpmi feature request no ?)

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja
