IMHO, using the 'smart' approach would be better.
No, you end having almost the same problem.. We have explained this many times, smart is **no** model to follow for a package manager, it is inconsistent and it does **not work** properly in 64 bit.
I'm not telling doing as smart. What the download model has to do with 64 bit???
First download all packages (keeping them on a special location), and after finishing the download, install them.
that is called "transaction", I suspect that there is a good reason why it is not implemented the way you suggest.
If there is a good reason, I would like to know which is it.
If a problem occur during the download phase,
just retry from the last successful downloaded package.
and it should "resume" a download as well ;)
Sure.
Having the choice to keep the downloaded files would be useful too if someone want to update another system without the need to download all again.
IF you need to update more than one system, then rsync the update tree and pragate updates via NFS or something.
What if you don't want to update all the packages, but just some group of them. It has not sense rsync the entire update tree.
