Beware that curl does not support get of ftp files with time stamp checked and size checked, so urpmi call curl two times for ftp files, one for getting headers (time-stamp and size) for files already present locally to check if they need to be updated, and another to get modified or http files. The check routine are maybe broken in urpmi if you encounter problem, as shown below urpmi considered the file as not needing update using curl (as well as using wget too). curl has a big advantages over wget, it avoid opening/closing connection for each files, some server do not appreciate to open/close connection (like when using wget) and stop connection after xx files downloaded.
