I implemented most of it now! Actually, all I can think of right now. Inclusion of Torrent links is missing yet, and maybe I forgot something else. *Please test*: Small file (1.4MB): http://go-oo.mirrorbrain.org/stable/linux-i586/3.2/ooobasis3.2-sw-TZ-calc-3.2.0-9483.i586.rpm Huge file: http://go-oo.mirrorbrain.org/builder/ooobuilder-1.tar.bz2 Append .meta4 to get the Metalink - or .metalink to get the old (v3) metalink. I tested with checker, and it didn't complain! Transparent negotiation is still there btw, based on the Accept header for metalink+xml resp. metalink4+xml. An important requirement for this change was that old v3 Metalinks are still completely supported, and don't collide in any way, mainly for long-term support of openSUSE 11.2 which uses aria2c for downloading extensively. A major restructuring was required to improve working with verification hashes. I redesigned the cache of hashes and moved it from on-disk storage into the database (see http://mirrorbrain.org/issues/issue40). A side effect is that now many more things can be done with the hashes. For instance, the mirror lists that you get by appending ?mirrorlist or .mirrorlist now include them: http://go-oo.mirrorbrain.org/builder/ooobuilder-1.tar.bz2.mirrorlist Things like adding checksums to HTTP headers becomes feasible now, which is great.
