What are you using to download with? Unfortunately, the only tool that does the job properly is rsync -vrlt --delete --partial (--delete deletes local files that are no longer on the server). Read man rsync. The oxygen beta server and its mirrors are extremely dynamic and someone is adding or replacing about 100 rpms a day , or more, sometimes. Of course, this makes nearly futile and meaningless any attempt to do a beta test. -- Regards, Ron. [AU] - sent by Linux.
