Jarpack.com smart update problem...


I recently discovered http://jarpack.com for Gnome updates for SuSE 10.1, so I thought I'd try it out.

I seem to have run into a problem however. When it tries to fetch a package from jarpack.com, I get one of these for each package:

Code:
error:     http://jarpack.com/suse/10.1/ RPMS/i586/dbus-1-devel-0.62-1.i586.rpm: Bad Request
I haven't seen anyone else complain about this, so my guess is it's a problem on my end. It looks like there's a rogue space in the package URL; all the failed packages have this. I only get this problem from jarpack, no other repository.

Edit: Almost forgot to mention I did try the obvious. I went into smart and verified the URL is correct (http://jarpack.com/suse/10.1/), there's no errant space showing there.

Anyone know how to correct this?

Well since no reply yet I'll give my observations. I examined the website carefully yesterday, although right now it seems to be down. These are not 'Updates' as much as they are packages, and as far as I can tell, it looks mostly like developmental stuff. When you see filenames that have 'devel' and 'debug' in them, I don't think you want them if you are a newbie. Pardon me if I am wrong about that. I also couldn't find any descriptions of what the packages actually are on the website, so the question begs, why do you want them in the first place, just curiosity? One thing I am pretty certain of, is that they aren't 'updates' that you need.
