"No humongous downloads" probably constitute the only big advantage that any package manager (in this case Conary) has over Pacman.

it wouldnt matter whether we were using apt, or urpmi or smart or anything. There'd still be a huge download.

I had a 500mb update

Re: Big update today??

Conary works kind of like the Firefox updater, actually... The download would probably still be very big, but not as big.

(That said, I would never bother with rPath or Foresight Linux, seeing how outdated their packages are. XOrg 6.8.2 indeed.)
