Also the update source is not relevant here is it? When opensuseupdater tells you that updates are available the update repo has already been refreshed hasn't it? So it won't need to download new metadata again at YOU startup.
Indeed.
What I mainly object to is the repeated downloading of 98% of old metadata and only 2% of new, because everything is packed up in the same binary file. A more intelligent design would be 50 times faster...
What about using zsync? I never used it myself, but what I read on http://zsync.moria.org.uk/ looks very promising :-) BTW: Volker, could you please provide some info in bug 188068?
