5 Metalink support (XML for mirrors & checksums) - ID: 2884364
Last Update: Comment added ( antbryan )

Have you thought about adding Metalink support? It's an XML file that lists
mirrors & checksums.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metalink

Many Linux distros, OpenOffice.org, & other projects use it. Most download
managers support it, including mulk ( http://mulk.sourceforge.net/ ) which
is also written in C & based on libcurl.
