[Klug-general] Upgrades without Broadband

When I wrote about downloading large upgrade files I'm afraid I didn't 
make myself clear.

A friend and I both use Fedora Core 3 and dial up modems. We download 
large files  at an internet cafe onto CD then transfer them to the 
up2date folder on our machines.

What would be nice would be for us to share the download  of medium 
sized files to effectively cut the download time in half. Unfortunately 
the Update Agent seems to delete the downloaded  RPMs or at least 
convert them to HDRs. Is there a way of  getting  the Redhat Update 
Agent to save  a copy of the RPMs which could be  transferred to disk?

Peter.
