    ftp://mirror.colorado.edu/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.0/base/.link

    This folder contains links to all the rpm files placed at

    ftp://mirror.colorado.edu/pub/suse/i386/supplementary/KDE/update_for_10.0/base/

    What are these links? Why must they exist? When I was downloading the KDE 3.43
    update, I noticed that my download was of more than the 17 files and 44.3 MB
    in the actual directory and hence discovered the subdirectory. What Konqueror
    was doing was to pursue the links and download another 44.3 MB because there
    were links to those files again in the .link subdir. Why does this .link
    directory exist?
