Smart 1.4.1 Usage in Fedora 17

Hi,
     Having moved from Mandriva 2011 to Fedora 17 as the closest distro 
I can find to Red Hat 6 which we are using at work, I am trying to use 
Smart 1.4.1. Ignoring a problem that I was getting under Mandriva that 
is also occurring randomly on Fedora as well, I am trying to get Smart 
to use the Yum functionality of using delta rpms where possible for 
updates. The impression I get at the moment is that when Smart downloads 
the rpms it is downloading full rpms rather than deltas, if that is not 
correct how do I get Smart to provide the same messages as Yum does in 
terms of downloading the deltas and informing the user that it is using 
the delta to rebuild the rpm? I am using Smart 1.4.1 downloaded from 
your site as Fedora 17 only provides Smart 1.3.1 in their repositories, 
and if I remember correctly Smart 1.3.1 doesn't provide support for 
mirror lists which I am using in conjunction with base urls.

regards,
Steve
