Thanks Dag for the packaging; I'm on my way of testing, and I find that dealing with mirror lists isn't straight forward at all. I will try to understand if is possible to modify the source so it only caches rpm files on a flat format and it compares only the file name and not the full path. Also I have to understand if it is possible to add ftp support. I'll let you know if I have news Regards Lorenzo Quatrini
