upgdate via delta packages
pacman.conf has option to delta packages update .. it is a good way to update, or better stay with downloading the whole packages?

Re: upgdate via delta packages
I using delta.archlinux.fr more than a year, just working fine. if any case, somehow delta package failed to apply (even delta checksum is ok), you need to download full package. remember it's unofficial.

Re: upgdate via delta packages
Is delta.archlinux.fr the only repository with delta's at this time?
