From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It doesn't really make sense to do that. Even if you do resolve dependencies to identify which one needs to come first, you're still going to need to take manual action to download and install subsequent packages.
You should probably see if you can increase the timeout and number of retries, or just set it to run with --download-only (or whatever the dnf equivalent is) in a loop until it succeeds. Then you can run the actual install all in one go from the download cache.
It looks we've been able to find the following for the config file for dnf:
max_parallel_downloadsin/etc/dnf/dnf.conf.Here's a post on how to increase it - so do the opposite, and set it to 1.
Thank you for taking the time to help me out. I appreciate it.
Let us know if it works. Based on your description of the problem, it sounds like you'll find it still times out due to a bad connection, except you'll have gotten fewer downloads done.
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!
came here to see if Fedora had a --download-only equivalent.
Hello.
I just wanted to leave this here, in case you wanted to look into it for something you had.
