It looks we've been able to find the following for the config file for dnf:
max_parallel_downloads in /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.
Thanks! I've been able to find out about this.
I didn't see your comments before I found it though. But I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out.
Thank you very much.
Lol dang. I didn't get a message about your comment.
But, I was able to find a different article discussing the same thing.
Thank you very much for you help with this though. This seems to be exactly what I needed.
I really appreciate it.
Thank you for your help.
I was looking for a way to decrease the amount of consecutive packages being downloaded during an update/upgrade.
With the help of some other comments I was able to find the following:
It's referencing increasing the max parallel downloads to increase upgrade/update speed. But maybe it'll work for what I'm looking for by lowering the value instead.
Thank you very much for taking the time to help me.
Going off your comment and someone else's I was able to find the following:

A younger brother of mine just baptized into an Orthodox church nearby. Is this the same thing?
Researchers found that people often use search engines in ways that unintentionally reinforce their existing beliefs. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows that even unbiased search engines can lead users into digital echo chambers—simply because of how people phrase their search queries.
"When people look up information online—whether on Google, ChatGPT or new AI-powered search engines—they often pick search terms that reflect what they already believe (sometimes without even realizing it),” said lead author Eugina Leung, an assistant professor at Tulane’s A. B. Freeman School of Business. “Because today’s search algorithms are designed to give you ‘the most relevant’ answers for whatever term you type, those answers can then reinforce what you thought in the first place. This makes it harder for people to discover broader perspectives.”
For example, people who believe caffeine is healthy might search “benefits of caffeine,” while skeptics might type “caffeine health risks.” Those subtle differences steered them toward drastically different search results, ultimately reinforcing their original beliefs.
The effect persisted even when participants had no intention of confirming a bias. In a few studies, fewer than 10% admitted to deliberately crafting their search to validate what they already thought, yet their search behavior still aligned closely with their beliefs.
The researchers tested several ways to encourage users to broaden their views. Simply prompting users to consider alternative perspectives or perform more searches had little effect. However, one approach worked consistently: changing the algorithm.
When search tools were programmed to return a broader range of results—regardless of how narrow the query was—people were more likely to reconsider their beliefs. In one experiment, participants who saw a balanced set of articles about caffeine health effects walked away with more moderate views and were more open to changing their behavior.
Users rated the broader results equally useful and relevant as the narrowly tailored ones. The findings suggest that search platforms could be crucial in combating polarization—if designed to do so. The researchers even found that most people were interested in using a “Search Broadly” feature—a button (conceptualized as doing the opposite of Google’s current “I’m feeling Lucky” button) that would intentionally deliver diverse perspectives on a topic.
Speaking on May 9 in an interview with The Telegraph at the Football Business Awards, just days before he was accused of the anti-Semitic social post on X, Lineker expressed that his issues are with the Israeli government rather than Jewish people.
“Obviously, October 7 was awful, but it’s very important to know your history and to study the massacres that happened prior to this, many of them against the Palestinian people,” he said in the interview with The Telegraph, which was published last Thursday, on May 15.
“Yes, Israelis have a right to defend themselves. But it appears that Palestinians don’t – and that is where it’s wrong. Palestinians are caged in this outdoor prison in Gaza, and now it’s an outdoor prison that they’re bombing,” Lineker added.
Same as the other comment. That's very generous of you.
Housing is pretty much the main concern for me regarding moving at this time.
Ehhmm.. Would you happen to need a live in maid, assistant, gardener, groundskeeper..anything wherever you end up? Asking for a friend.
Hello.
I just wanted to leave this here, in case you wanted to look into it for something you had.
