i use rsync...once you d/l all the files for cooker, rsync will only update the
files (rpm's) that have changed on the ftp. it really helps, but still isn't a
replacement for faster speeds.
reserve about 600 mb of hdd space for the /cooker files and rsync it overnight.
most times, there's only ~5 rpm's to d/l or so.
(...if your not already doing this.)
