I am using straight ftp (ie a script running from cmd line) on my
cooker updating and I have all (remaining) rpm files reporting Monday
June 5 2000. Which means I will have to update every file when/ if
there is an actual update. Using metered broadband this can add up.
Should I use a different server? Currently sunsite.uio.no.
