up2date is still a nightmare

up2date is still being quite unusable in some situations. Obviously it
is not able to cope with hight trafic and/or a slow response time.
- the mirror selection feature is a progress, compared to FC1, but it is
still quite dumb in selecting mirrors. It doesn't use one in vicinity.
especially useless for non US users
- the progress dialog "testing package set / solving RPM dependencies"
lacks of any user feedback if there is some problem with the connection.
It seems to hang forever.
Fortunately we have yum. up2date should become deprecated.
