[zypp-devel] "resume downloads" feature

Hi all:

now that zypp has the ability to save downloaded packages seems natural to implement a "resume" functionality so packages that were partially downloaded because of user interruption and/or network errors can be finished without having to download the whole complete package.

This feature may be specially useful for slower links in combination with big packages like openoffice and may help saving signficant bandwidth, enhacing user experience.

Is there any plan to implement this ? ( Curl already has built-in support for this btw..)

Thanks for yoru attention..
