This would also not be an issue if we had not to download this file over and over again and then inflate it to ten times it's size. The main issue here is not the amount of data but the way yum handles it and the refusal of yum upstream to even consider an efficient meta data handling by insisting on the reconstruction of transport representation on the client side. In the end we need a saner MD handling no matter if we go for finer grained packages or not. I hope DNF will be able to provide this at some point when they are done with the more basic things.
