Hi,

When upgrading to the latest firefox from sl-errata, I downloaded the 16Mb 
file twice, once when it was supposed to download the .hdr only, and then 
the second time when it's supposed to (rightly) download the file.

I've raised this issue before but no solution seems obvious. There's nothing 
out of the ordinary with my yum setup, so I can imagine I'm not the only 
once having this problem.

# yum -y update firefox

This problem only seems to affect the sl-errata repo, other repo's I've used 
download the actual headers fine, and not down the rpm as the header and 
then the rpm.

Obviously this wastes time and bandwidth for the provider (SL) and the users 
(me) so should try and be solved.

Any ideas to what this problem could be?

Michael.
