I am using a public WiFi (McDs). Which tries to block any Linux. Freeware downloads by IP address, which is why I set it to download by whonix.
Sitting outside McDs today I have exceeded my daily limit of frustration.
As I tried to say when I asked. Will the need to upgrade to the next level of Fedora trigger a new release of QUBEs. As installing Qubes from scratch is easier than my computer trying to negotiate a tricky connection with update repos.
Still thanks to the developers. What I experienced in trying to download software is nothing compared to what you fellows slog through.
