so, either a partial file, or out of disk space? better make sure the cache 
tree is the same partition as the tmp dir it uses.

in any case, using multiple mirrors isn't supported...

(yet)

i'm just trying them out this way.

i had alot of troubles with cauldron due to mismatches with MD5SUM and the 
synthesis files, because the MD5SUM doesn't match the synthesis files

but, sometimes, i do have some oddness in files (i think maybe i need better 
error-checking) like if you get a partial result, it doesn't get removed from 
cache. so if it does fail, i delete the file from the cache tree for now.

don't forget to do that in all your cascading urpmi-proxy's...

i actually have tested 3 cascading urpmi-proxy's.

in normal usage, i have an urpmi-proxy at my local lan. one at my desktop 
itself, and then once i tested urpmi-proxy in a VM on my desktop.

the one on my desktop has an "extra" repository (and changes which ones are 
default), and the one on the server has now 2 sources (http mirrors), with 
very small timeouts (i may have used 3 or 5 seconds)

since i have an urpmi-proxy at work, my work-laptop had always 2 sources which 
i uncommented constantly, but perhaps i should actually set them both, with 
very small timeouts... maybe with a 3rd slow one?

/me continues to ponder
