Thanks for the info.  How are you determining the percentage of final?

I'm starting to think mirrorservice.org has a problem of some kind; for
the past day or so I saw no attempts to connect which is strange if the
mirroring is stalled as you say.  There is now an active upload in
progress, so we'll see what happens in the next day or two.

At least the system now degrades gracefully instead of causing the
showstopper failures Darrell was alluding to that were unfortunately
characteristic of previous releases.

For the next SRU I'm going to see if I can set up a more stable layer in
between the TDE servers and mirrorservice.org.
