Thanx! another small thing: when a file is already in cache, it still logs into the server and dowloads a .listing. I guess since rpmdrake already knows the name and therefore version of a file, this is not necesarry?

But this requires big changes to mirror/installation media structure and all tools that maintain them (upload script, gendistrib etc).
