Hi,
Is there any reason why the yum header files (.hdr) are about the same
size as the RPM files?
e.g.
[pza@hallucination development]$ ll headers/thunderbird-0.8.0-4.i386.hdr
packages/thunderbird-0.8.0-4.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11108767 Oct 9 03:27
headers/thunderbird-0.8.0-4.i386.hdr
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11109047 Oct 9 03:27
packages/thunderbird-0.8.0-4.i386.rpm
[pza@hallucination development]$ du -s *
412296 headers
412320 packages
940 primary.xml.gz
6844 primary.xml.gz.0de5a02528ed14facfc0eaf9c7060209.pickle
8 repomd.xml
I thought the idea of the header files was to get all the important info
from without downloading the whole rpm?
What mirror are you using?
If you're not using a site that supports http 1.1 and byte-ranges then
yum will have to download the whole package.
