I guess this is moot now.

When an rpm file does not download correctly and you try to install the
file, rpm will usually print out a message that such and such is not an
rpm or similar. The output from attempting
rpm -Fvh *.rpm
would most likely reveal the damaged or incomplete downloaded rpm file.
This is an example with a real rpm and a wannabe rpm. Example rpm shows
this sort of message.
[root at cornette-fc3 rpm-test]# rpm -Fvh *.rpm
example.rpm: not an rpm package (or package manifest):
[root at cornette-fc3 rpm-test]# ls
example.rpm HelixPlayer-0.4.0.187-20040615.i586.rpm
Oh well, not an issue now. The directory was cleaned out.

they see it is easier than trading. And it has its pleasures. I feel
it myself. Like the hunt, but with richer rewards.
