The problems include: 1. presto 2. User hitting Control-c in middle of download. 3. Metadata downloads. 4. Yum/urlgrabber re-downloading broken downloads. ...I'll probably have a go at being "good enough" anyway. Although yum really needs info. from other layers and a couple of UI things already have above related problems anyway, so fixing this layering problem would solve a couple of things. -- James Antill <james@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
