...and causes mirror sites to fetch the files again every day. This is
especially a problem for company internal mirrors behind a firewall since they
shouldn't use too much bandwith. Example: oo_641d_src.tar.bz2, koffice etc

We are using lftp's mirror functionality which works well with other sites.

Hope this can be fixed easily... would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Hi,

Is this still a problem?

I guess it never was a problem, cuz if the last modified time changes daily, a dev did something on it every day.. and this bug is very old already, so i'll close it..
