Hi All,

Quick question, I just finished googling and found the thread that is dealing with the rpmdup_remover.sh script, and thanks to everyone that was involved in this. I followed the following threads: http://www.opensubscriber.com/message/centos@centos.org/11086209.html http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?viewmode=flat&topic_id...

Which lead me to the following link and the script:

http://www.centos.org/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=10139&forum=2...

I started an update at about 5pm on the 30th and here it is 2:30 in the morning on the 31st. I want to kill this update and start over. I usually get around 155 KB/s now I'm getting 455 B/s. I do believe it is the mirror that I am connected to. I just want to make sure that by using the above mentioned script that I am going the right way.

Just looking for a little reassurance before I do it. If I don't I don't think this thing will finish until sometime next week :-) and that is a bit long.

If you are still in the middle of downloading, it should be safe tostop it. Try Control-C once and see if you get to a faster mirror. Do the second Control-C to stop the transfer entirely.

The script you referred to will work if a yum session gets interrupted and you end up with duplicates. Otherwise, you can try yum-complete-transaction (included in yum-utils) to ... er ... complete transactions.

Hi Akemi,

Thanks. I just went and checked it expecting it to still be downloading and lo and behold, it finished. The mirror must have just been really getting hammered. Thanks for the info I will keep this bit handy just in case!!

Thanks again.
