I'm running _02, and it looks like x does not always download the indexes from the mirror. Does it rely on the same code that checks the age of the indexes when you start up and first try to download something? In older versions, x always downloaded the indexes from the server.

That was certainly not the intention, and i don't recall it being that way actually. -- Jos Boumans "You know you are never more indignant in life than when you're shopping at a store you feel is beneath you and one of the other customers mistakes you for one of the employees of that store." - Dennis Miller CPANPLUS http://cpanplus.sf.net
