Um, that's only the complete hdlist, which you only need to download if you want package descriptions. Otherwise you can use the synthesis files, synthesis.hdlist.cz (for Cooker) and synthesis.hdlist2.cz (for contribs), which are 137KB and 105KB respectively at the moment - hardly anything. -- adamw
