I believe that they are working on a way to do this. I have not tried 
out the new concept yet. I read bits and pieces on the changes to 
up2date, to make this happen. It is experimental and my mirror was quick 
at the time the message came out.


There is a lot of updates available. I'm sure the other mirrors will 
come on-line shortly. (over 400, maybe 500 updates)
