Great, thats good to hear! If the .metalinks with repair info & aria2 0.10.1+
are used, there should never be an error in the finished files (if there is, its a bug in the program
and we need to know about it). That alone makes it preferable to http/ftp
downloads which might have errors.
If openSUSE makes it's own metalinks, that would be great. Bouncer and
RoPkg::Metalink are options, but it might be simpler just to use the command
line tools (http://metalinks.sourceforge.net/) since the ISOs aren't updated
constantly. If you want to have the chunk checksums/repair info in there, you
need the files locally to scan (or I guess running on a mirror that has the
files).
Anything I can do to help, let me know! I'm interested in other people's
comments on how we can improve the download process too.
