I get the following when running up2date:

Error Message:
    Demo service for server 1003481189 limited due to high load
Error Class Code: 51
Error Class Info:
     Demo service currently disabled due to high load. If you would like
     to see Red Hat's policies on Demo service, or find out how you can
     purchase a subscription service and receive priority download access,
     please go to http://rhn.redhat.com/preview/index.pxt

Oh, so I do have a demo account at red hat network, but I have not
previously, in practice, had a problem with getting updates. I have found
they are a little slow to download (I get 10kb/s vs the ~50kb/s I can
generally download at). Does anyone know how long it will last. I don't
really want to cough up $20, regardless of whether they say it's discounted.
Should I just wait? Or is it basically going to keep me shut out.

Cheers,

Sean.
