I've now noticed that the zero-length files are mentioned in the README. I
somehow missed that before, sorry.
I gues the problem would fix itself after $interval expired, but I'm not sure
this is the desired behaviour...
Yes, currently approx doesn't distinguish between the possible reasons
why "curl" fails to download a file. In the next version it will
cache the "not found" state only when an actual 404 response is
returned, which should fix the problem. Thanks for reporting this.
I'm a bit skeptical about this. While it's certainly very unusual for a
Debian mirror to be missing a file which should actually be there,
accidents can happen. If I was in charge, I think I wouldn't try to cache
misses, or at least would have a separate, very short timeout (on the order
of minutes) for them.
Apart from that, let me use this occasion to thank you for a nice piece of
software that I use extensively on my machines!
