Hi Marek;

They're hiding in

file:/var/cache/urpmi/rpms

after download; but it clears after they're installed, so you'd have to

copy

them somewhere else before that happens to save downloading them again.

You

have to get there as root (su) to achieve anything of course.

Is it possible to change the default behavior to _keep_ the packages?

That sure would save me bandwidth with multiple machines.

Why don't you have one machine rsync the updates you're interested in (ie. rsync updates/9.0) and then have all machines install from that source?
