Cool! Mdk here as well (although I'm running Mdk 9.1 cooker and the latest or
right now next to the latest since I haven't upgraded to PAN 0.13.3 yet).
I'm running urpmi.update for the day right now, to be followed by urpmi
--auto-select to catch everything I have installed back up with the mirrors.
I do that at least twice a week, so I'm certainly running fresh betas,
although I haven't gotten brave enough to be poking around CVSs much and
running alphas.

YIKES! I'd forgotten it was that small by default, as I've been running at
least the 1G max that it used to allow since 'bout time I first started w/
PAN. 10M on mpgs... yes... I'd DEFINITELY say it's the cache! <g> That
might be fine for text groups, and maybe if emptied at every close, for slow
pix groups or ones you pick and choose only a few posts in, but for any sort
of decent sized multi-part binary, mp3s even let alone mpgs, that's FAR to
small.
