Well, i'm downloading snapshots.. and because i only have ISDN speed, it could be that i download broken packages - they could have been updated while downloading (and i often get disconnected, wget -c thinks it's still the same file). Would be nice to check if the download was successfull. Checking the other packages is no problem. i simply download MD5 after downloading them all and check them. There's a trick to determine if there _could be_ an error: I have a close look on the modification time of the X packages before download and compare them to the value after downloading.. if they have changed i'll have to re-fetch them. With a md5 sum i could see which files need to be downloaded again if any.. cu JRL -- If you don't remember something, it never existed... If you aren't remembered, you never existed... I don't quite understand what love is like... But if there was someone who liked me, I'd be happy.
