What about:
- cache the repodata. - download repomd.xml (very small) - check if cache is current by comparing the sha1sums.
- have the repodata available twice: uncompressed and bzip2 compressed - first download gets the bz2 version - further syncs use rsync to update the repodata Disadvantages: - need rsync support on servers Regards, Carl-Daniel -- http://www.hailfinger.org/
