aria2c finished the download with a checksum error - suposedly metalink
had strong advanced error correction methods to avoid this very thing, but
it doesn't work :-(
I started it again to check, and it destroyed what was downloaded,
starting from zero! :-//
I'm sorry, but I have to recomend not to use metalink, nor aria2c. This is
not ready for primetime, folks. I'll stay with torrent, thanks.
Details and technical answers to the opensuse list, please.
