[BlueOnyx:26855] Re: 5210R Update Error

[Taco Scargo]

Hi Michael, 

Only thing I can think Richard might be behind some kind of proxy/firewall/security device.
Some providers do this to “protect” their customers.
Maybe a string in the rpms matches some security database.

Don’t know.

Best regards,

Taco

Sure, admserv-php is one of the larger RPMs, but not the largest. And sausalito-palette is comparatively small. So it's not just file size either that causes this.
