When I downloaded the 0.95 test release ISO images, I used the old
approach of "tar"ing my complete fedora/0.94 tree of packages (which
included all 0.94 updates) and naming the resulting 1.8 GiB file
"severn-i386-disc1.iso" (and *disc2.iso and *disc3.iso, respectively)
prior to using rsync. That saved me approximately 0.8 GiB and nearly
doubled the download speed. 

Since I didn't sync the original 0.94 ISO images up to 0.95, I can't
comment on how much gain that would yield. Probably less, because
the high number of updated 0.94 packages would not be included.
