I'm sorry about that, but as I posted earlier, I was having serious problems with accessing the mirrors (half of which don't currently have the current updates or even redhat 7! and a major portion that were unaccessible because of anonymous user limits being exceeded). those mirrors that were accessible were way to slow to by worthwhile (like under 5 k/sec). to make a point here, seems like redhats quality of service has taken a bit of a slide lately. also, with rumors that redhat is going to a pay subscription updatye service, makes me wonder if they aren't headed down the same road that microsoft is on.
