Ok since many people asked for it I've added it in 2.0-6mdk: just put a line containing (exactly) "noclearcache" in /root/.grpmi (without the quotes of course). The problem is still that if the download has been successful when you will launch it again curl will try to "resume a broken download" and will sit there forever -- update, it seems that it doesn't happen with FTP (curl "sees" that the download was complete) since I've just tested again with an FTP source, and the problem seems to not happen. The option is a bit "hidden" but since there is this problem when trying to resume complete downloads, it seems ok to me. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
