</I>>>>><i> That's why network BW usage by urpmi is small for checking media

</I>><i>
</I>Not too big, but it also takes a while to download/process these.
Just take a look at the /media_info directory in any repository.
Besides the synthesis.hdlist there are additional files with the metainfo
about files, changelog, and info.
