For those upset with the RHN download speeds, please remember this week 
is a "double whammy", with the RH9 ISO release on top of the recent 
sendmail patch.

In my experience, major security bugs in common software apps (such as 
apache or sendmail) do more to bring the RHN bandwidth to a crawl than 
the ISO releases, but then again, they've never done an ISO release 
quite this way either.

I think we'll be seeing something different for the next release. :)
