Re: Encrypted repos (https/ftps)

I wonder a bit, i currently see not the single downloads only the
complete download of all files when using https.
Does this doesn't matter? Or better said: Is it still possible that it
leaks the single file sizes like that?
And if it leaks the file sizes how easy/hard is this to know the actual
file names which have been downloaded?

Regards
