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.
Outch, sorry ! Din't know I could use these ones :)

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.
