Indeed, {software,download}.openSUSE.org already have a per-file state 
cache for every mirror. However, this fails with files, that don't have a 
version, as the state-cache only has two states: File exist on mirror vs. 
file isn't there.

Oh, and it supports "some kind" of sessions, which makes sure to send you 
the same mirror for those un-versioned files, to prevent errors in that 
area (i.e. downloading primary.xml and filelist.xml from two different, 
unsynced, servers.).

I'll look into improving the state-cache and implement some of the ideas 
that have been brought up on this list, which are very much appreciated by 
the way! Stay tuned.


Regards
	Christoph
