Bug#459706: for large files, https overhead should be negligible

2012-11-12 Thread Andre Robatino
I may be wrong about the overhead being negligible - see https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2012-November/111652.html - in which case I'd agree that zsync should probably refuse to accept https links (assuming that's always an option, I don't know if a server can be configured to only a

On FC5, the same problem currently exists with cdrecord. I read elsewhere that cdrdao would work, and upon testing it turns out that it can write a blanked CD-RW, but it can't blank it. Attempting a minimal blank returns a false success, but upon checking it's not blanked after all. A full b
