I'm thinking that if you have it once and since the name never changes the second++ time you grab it it would always be an incremental change... not a whole download. This is exactly the case, unless you use -f which avoid this feature. François.

This does not make for a happy rsync experience. )-: The sorting should be kept with incremental version of package (always ldconfig first, ... according to most used package (perl-URPM counts reference to each package globaly before building hdlist)). Compression of hdlist is done by section, not the whole file is compressed but only section of 40 bytes (generally) of concatenated rpm headers (some headers have size of 1.2Mb). This means rsync can behave correctly. François.
