Description Matthias Fuchs 2010-02-15 17:26:18 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

Mirrorbrain can create metalinks with the very useful following features:
* contains checksums
* multiple mirrors ranked depending on the users' location

It would also be possible to offer one metalink called something like "mostrecent-sources.metalink". As metalink has a tag "dynamic" clients that support this tag (not yet in KGet) could always get the most recent sources even if they downloaded the metalink-file months ago.
