Basically, on every call to apt-update that isn't completely trivial (ie, at
least
1 package changed), my computer downloads the full 60 Mb of Contents files.
This
is irritating, for while I am often on a fast internet, I frequently find
myself on
a very slow connection.
I know my config file enables pdiffs (and I attached it so you can know, too).
The Readme talks a lot about pdiffs, and why I should enable them, but except
for
one sentence, it doesn't mention anything about apt update. (The sentence in
question *could* be interpreted to mean that apt update will never download
Pdiffs, but that is unlikely, given its context).
I don't know what's the cause. If you need me to get a log file, I can, but
Apt doesnt include these files in its final output: only while it is
drawing progress bars.
Thank you!
Calum
