XferCommand with prozilla, how to make it smarter

Hi. I use this XferCommand in my pacman.conf:

XferCommand =/usr/bin/printf 'Downloading ' && echo %u && /usr/bin/proz  -k=16  -r --no-curses --no-netrc  --no-getch  %u

It is supper fast, but it is unable to understand that, for example, "Core is up to date" or "Community is up to date". In fact, even if I run "pacman -Sy" consequently, every time it actually look into the mirror and download the "sig" and "db" files. Here is the output of "pacman -Sy":

Re: XferCommand with prozilla, how to make it smarter

pacman uses the Last-Modified header in the response headers compared to the mtime of the DB file to determine when a repo is "up to date". You'll need to find the equivalent flag in prozilla to abort the transfer on this condition if you want similar behavior.
