  • I’ll let you know!

    My signal reliability and bandwidth will stay the same, but, distributing that between 1 download compared to 4-5 might make an improvement on it’s own, allowing the download to more often finish before it times out. But, we’ll see. Gotta get back to my PC.

    If not, maybe the timeout setting in the config file will help a little.

    Will report back!



  • Hello! Thanks so much for helping me with this.

    It looks we’ve been able to find the following for the config file for dnf:

    max_parallel_downloads in /etc/dnf/dnf.conf.

    Here’s a post on how to increase it - so do the opposite, and set it to 1.

    Also, I wanted to ask you about your suggestion for downloading on the phone.

    What method or methods were you considering for downloading the packages on a phone? I haven’t heard of this before.

    Thank you again for taking the time to write back.

    I really appreciate it.






  • Thank you for your help.

    I was looking for a way to decrease the amount of consecutive packages being downloaded during an update/upgrade.

    With the help of some other comments I was able to find the following:

    It’s referencing increasing the max parallel downloads to increase upgrade/update speed. But maybe it’ll work for what I’m looking for by lowering the value instead.

    Thank you very much for taking the time to help me.
