I would be concerned that using this feature may place a high load on the rsync server. Especially if it were used by many clients. But with the Packages file and the md5sums there a local comparison can identify non-matching files using only compute resources on the client. However, I am sure you were suggesting this as a single use to correct a once occurring problem. Bob
