Subject: Erroneously assumes nothing to do if index files are up to date
If the index files are up to date minicpan appears to assume that the tarballs are all up to date and does nothing. This is an erroneous assumption if a previous run of minicpan had been cancelled before all modules were downloaded.

This is a feature, not a bug. If you prefer to always attempt to update the mirror, even if the index has not been updated, you can use the -f option or add "force: 1" to your minicpanrc. (Or, call minicpan from a script that deletes the indices if minicpan exits with an error.)
