Hi Nio,
is this the dltbl you already sent me?  Or do I need another one?
If so please send it my way :)
Is there a way to choose to save it elsewhere (i.e. usb drive) and link
that to /tarballs automatically??
Or is there some other way we can make this extremely easy to do for our
users?

It would be nice to implement zsync in this equation, as a failed md5sum
could be remedied by simply running zsync again to finish the download
(I have done this a few times), rather than downloading the entire file
again.
Or, at least offering the option of using zsync if it is installed.
