The connection may even hang during the +download process. There goes my idea: + +Can you reprogram URPMI to download packages from smaller to larger? + +Let me explain: imagine there is 100MB of updates that need to be downloaded. +Say the user takes 1 hour to download everything. Suppose that the connection +hangs after 20 minutes of downloading. Suppose further that the packages to be +downloaded there is one of 32MB. + +If download process starts to this bigger package, when connection hangs, user +will have only one - or part of one - package downloaded. But if downloading +starts from smaller packages - those with a few KB - when he become offline, +he'll have downloaded more packages and, perhaps, installed a lot of stuff. + +Of course, should be an option to user chooses how he wants download updates. + +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000521.html">[Mageia-dev] Can Firefox be included in Mageia? +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000503.html">[Mageia-dev] An idea for improve URPMI ;) +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#500">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#500">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#500">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#500">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
