This issue is what brought me to this list. I have long been frustrated that whenever I need to re-build a Yast-based configuration (which is very often) I must download the same RPMs over and over again. I have a broadband connection, but my provider is hinting that they are going to start metering to better manage the heavy downloading some users are doing. A fully configured Open-Suse build is several GB in size. I could download these files manually, but for gosh sakes, why would anyone think one should re-do manually what Yast is already doing automatically (dependency resolving and all)? All I ask is that -- please, can there be an OPTION to save downloaded RPMs locally? -- Timothy Cahill 301 Fulford-Ganges Rd.
