Yes, better use of rsync in software manager could REALLY save some serious bandwidth. I don't understand why there is not more widespread use of rsync??

And why is there no major ftp client that supports that protocol??

It would also be great if dialog box came up before downloading packages that asked if you wanted to keep the rpm's on your system after download. It could also say somehting like, "packages will be held in /var/cache/urpmi/rpms until you delete them"


And if it held onto the RPMs, when updating in the future it could rename the RPMs to new version names and use rsync for a shorter download.
