Outch, sorry ! Din't know I could use these ones :)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.
I used to do this :
urpmi.addmedia --distrib ftp://mynearestmirror.com/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/cooker/
And that one reference the huge hdlist.cz files
Now I'll add my download sources with
urpmi.addmedia cooker ftp://mynearestmirror.com/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS/ with ../base/synthesis.hdlist.cz
urpmi.addmedia contrib ftp://mynearestmirror.com/pub/linux/distributions/mandrake-devel/cooker/cooker/Mandrake/RPMS2/ with ../base/synthesis.hdlist2.cz
A shortest way to add entire distrib download source with synthesis.hdlist files would help by the way.
