Details

I'm using delta.archlinux.fr as repository for arch packages, that supports the "UseDelta" option.

However, when interrupting the download of a delta file, and restarting the upgrade, I get the following error message:

:: Retrieving packages from core...
error: failed retrieving file 'linux-3.2.4-1_to_3.2.5-1-x86_64.delta' from delta.archlinux.fr : Maximum file size exceeded

And the upgrade stops. Only after manually deleting /var/cache/pacman/pkg/linux-3.2.4-1_to_3.2.5-1-x86_64.delta.part an upgrade is possible again (pacman -Syu).

Using pacman 4.0.1-4
This task depends upon

Awesome, it's a one line fix. Should be able to get this into the next maint release.
