delta rpm would be awesome for those of us with limited bandwidth.
Dial-up modems are still common out here.
Another possibility might be a service that gets told which package
version you have, and which you want, and tries to build a delta rpm,
keeping a cache; the cache could be pre-populated with the most common
entries. But that would necessitate the ability to run a program on the
mirror.
