Title: 'download-only-if-newer' not on compressed?
Post by: gav616 on October 27, 2010, 01:40:33 PM

Sorry if this is just common knowledge and nothing can be done.

but, why is it that 'uncompressed' filters use the feature effectively and are not constantly downloaded, but on the same URL some 'compressed' file are downloaded regardless if there new or not.

E.G.

And BTW It's not updating it because there's a new version, notice the time in the logs.

Please check the timestamp of the unpacked file. Then touch it and see if the download is skipped then.
I believe we need to touch the unpacked file to make this work.

I believe so, but I checked both files with  the 'eMule' mod 'MorphXT' and it seems it handles both files in the same way (sorry, I don't know exactly now, but the source is there)

the skip works fine and it's compressed. hmmm.

certain links must just not work with this feature.

Skipping is just possible if the server tells you the timestamp. Some do, some don't and some always report current time.

If-modified-since only works when the server supports it, of course.
