Great.
btw: is there something like sending "If-Modified-Since" and getting a
304-Reply planned/possible when fetching the zipped setup.ini?
It's quite annoying if you just received it on a slow dialup and have
to do it some minutes later again, because you had to cancel setup
download for some reason.

I think this could also save bandwidth on the mirrors and would be
even useful for the mirror.lst.
