Hello Fabian and Johnny,

Well, Johnny modified the numbers of deltarpms created now (so up to 5 drpms per package now) so the total size occupied by those drpms should be less than before (was verified yesterday, with last rsync between mirrors deleting quite some files)
Seems there are still way more delta-rpms out there and quite huge "drpms"-subdirectories out there on the mirrors.
Looking at the drpms-Dir listed by size: http://msync.centos.org/centos-6/6.5/updates/x86_64/drpms/?C=S;O=A And comparing that to the list of packages: http://msync.centos.org/centos-6/6.5/updates/x86_64/Packages/
E.g. firefox has 4 normal rpm-Packages with about 47MB out there, those 4 rpm-Packages result in 18 drpm-packages with each 41MB.
This remains a huge burden for drpms...
best regards,
Florian La Roche
