Interesting idea. Never thought about using two mirrors in the config. I fought with urpmi-proxy today for a while. No matter what I tried, when downloading a synthesis via the proxy it always ended up too small and with md5sum failures. Requesting the same file direct from the mirrors worked every time. I noticed that the file never ended up in the cache tree, just in the tmp dir. Time wasn't on my side, so I didn't debug further... one to fight another day. (this is with urpmi-proxy-0.3.2-1.mga2 on mga2 FWIW) Col -- Colin Guthrie colin(at)mageia.org http://colin.guthr.ie/ Day Job: Tribalogic Limited http://www.tribalogic.net/ Open Source: Mageia Contributor http://www.mageia.org/ PulseAudio Hacker http://www.pulseaudio.org/ Trac Hacker http://trac.edgewall.org/
