You were lucky, i did the same, and, it was a nightmare.
Well, not really a nightmare.

Since I was a newbie on upgrade with urpmi, i think i have done something 
wrong.

just added the sources for cooker, and urpmi.update -a ; urpmi --auto-select 
--auto

first problem, wget keep doing a connection for each file, and downloading the 
long listing. So i updated to use curl. curl wasn't able to work, a proxy 
problem. So, after having done something ( disabling a old proxy conf in 
urpmi ), I began the update.
After 1 hour, /var is full, urpmi stopped, and I discover that my rpm database 
is corrupt !
( well, it may be my fault, since i killed some curl process cause of proxy, I 
may have done a mistake... )
so, I try to rebuild, no way, and now, I have done a script to reinstall all 
rpm with urpmf , find and rpm -qf.
But the computer still run, and, it runs well.

So, is there something I missed for the upgrade ?

Why did urpmi insist of downloading all package before installing them ?

And, I think that rpm should check before creating rpmnew file, by doing a md5 
checksum, to see if the file is not the same. FOr now, it look if the file is 
in the database and don't touch it if not.
