How are you determining this? From IP address?
Yes.
Those could be a large number of different machines behind a nat

no?
Possibly.
Recent versions of fedora do not even download the filelists unless
a
user requests/looks up something that needs it. For normal install or
updates, it shouldn't be pulled. Can you tell what OS/versions this is
happening with?
Great! No, I just see basic file download information. Blocking those
who do it much too often shouldn't be a concern then.
In general clients should pull the repomd.xml file and check if
it's
changed, if not, use their cached versions.
That's not what I see for quite a lot of peers.
This should normally already be the case, so I wonder what is
happening
here, could be a bug in some version/os or otherwise something
unexpected.
That's my guess too.
Bye
Carsten
