I saw only the second half of this thread, I'm not sure if I understood
what you want, but I guessed it was to know info of an RPM file on an FTP
site before you download. well, I didn't get around to creating one when I
was the webmaster, but I had a cron job poor "rpm -qip *" into a text file
each night, and that was up there refreshed every night after the mirror.

I might be starting to build a small Linux site of my own with an RPM
browser at my current location. if I find the time and it works ok, I'll
send you all the URL :-)
