Hello, usually I use more than 1 mirror in order to update my cooker (with mirror.pl). Last week it happened that half of all the packages of ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de were downloaded even though they already existed on my harddisk.
I didn't use any other mirror since then. Today I tried to use ftp.lip6.fr and it also started to "update" packages which I already have, and which are dated Feb 6. package=cooker_rpms1 ftp.lip6.fr:/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS -> /pub/mirror/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS Scanning local directory /pub/mirror/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS Scanning remote directory /pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS compare directories (src 2130, dest 2130) Got synthesis.hdlist.cz 147344 3 Got XFree86-xfs-4.2.0-3mdk.i586.rpm 490093 7 Got XFree86-static-libs-4.2.0-3mdk.i586.rpm 2375642 29 -------------------- -r--r--r-- 1 root root 490093 Feb 6 23:30 ./cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS/XFree86-xfs-4.2.0-3mdk.i586.rpm So I aborted that transfer and switched back to esslingen: package=cooker_rpms1 ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de:/pub/Mirrors/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS -> /pub/mirror/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS Scanning local directory /pub/mirror/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS Scanning remote directory /pub/Mirrors/Mandrake-devel/cooker/i586/Mandrake/RPMS compare directories (src 2130, dest 2131) Got synthesis.hdlist.cz 147428 2 Got XFree86-static-libs-4.2.0-3mdk.i586.rpm 2375634 27 Got XFree86-xfs-4.2.0-3mdk.i586.rpm 490085 6 How come that the file sizes differ? I used to be able to switch from one mirror to another, updating from the more current one.. but at the moment it's impossible since I don't know which mirror is correct. So what's going on there? Anyone knows? Rgds, Rainer
