Yikes. Yeah, that's quite a lot. 500 updated or new RPMs times 25.000
BlueOnyx servers ... and suddenly those ~22 MB of updates amount to
something.

If I'd still be serving the YUM repository off my home-office DSL line,
I'd be DDOS'ed for a week. :p

Yeah, I recall ISDN being fast (and hey, you could bundle channels!) and
later on getting my first 2Mbit line and running around 30 Cobalts on it
in a broom closet in the basement. You could hear the fans whining three
floors up through several closed doors.

Stuff like that is no longer possible. Quite a different world indeed.
