I don't think that will happen. Of all of the versions of project 'bob' on all of the download sites, only the newest one (as indicated by the various setup.ini's) will be downloaded to the local cache. So, if on Tuesday site X has bob-1.0-1 (and everybody else has bob-0.9), then only http%%%X%%% will contain a bob tarball. On Wednesday, site Y has bob-2.0 -- now, we download bob-2.0 tarball into http%%%Y%%%. Okay, so you now have two bob tarballs in the local cache -- but they are different versions. --Chuck
