Why aren't we rsync'ing that 12MB db, instead of re-downloading ?
Wasn't there some web friendly rsync fork
zsync, see the recent thread for why it isn't in Fedora.
And I doubt they'd be much savings, even if it worked (and you'd have
to be clever due to the names changing). Adding delta MD support would
be "easier", and by easier I mean significant amounts of code and
significant problems on the f-i side.
