Downloading many small files over http is much worse then downloading just one bigger one (and of course the bigger one compresses better).
and is even worst in the current situation because zypp floods the servers with unneded requests or even (partial|complete) downloads instead of using CURL_TIMECOND_IFMODSINCE , when I analyzed this issue I was unpleasantly surprised with this misbehaviuor and I still dont know why such a basic thing like being friendly with the mirrors and use less network resources as possible was not considered in the current implementation ;( i.e last time I checked, a file exists check in zypp consisted in a partial,small file download.. and almost any protocol supported by curl have a way to do such operation without downloading any file.. -- "The only thing that interferes with my learning is my education." - Albert Einstein Cristian Rodríguez R.
