Metalink is supposed to use methods to avoid download errors. So they say, at least.

Didn't think of that one; my intention was to use the command line torrent client, which is also cabable of repairing a download (I have done that other times), but aria2 destroyed it first. > > Taken from: > > http://en.opensuse.org/Download_Instructions Interesting.

Unfortunately, I only know of one server that supports rsync, there is no list of mirrors supporting it. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
