now that rsync is supported by urpmi (as well as https protocol), we can
propose other mirror capabilities.

This can automatically activated according to protocol used, typically
rsync allow that, whereas http or ftp protocol should be tried
differently, maybe by allowing continue download and download again on
error (only the beginning) if rpm is still inconsistent ?

Auto tune server before downloading ?

ability to use a different configuration file, which may authorize
defining all other file to use.

Yes, media management can be improved to create automatically
environment for updating media, spliting and others.

This looks like mkcd or gendistrib features, maybe factorisation ?

I was thinking on synthesis containing all needed informations as an

Yes, I was thinking about it for 9.1, just need to use compssUsers file,
no added for 9.1 but great effectively.
