Well it could be a local problem with my environment of course, but shouldn't 3.3.0 then suffer from the same problem then? As there were some fiddling with the libfetch download code in pacman on version 3.3.1 and 3.3.2 i thought it might be related to that.
I already answered this question, see my previous mail. And from libfetch man page : If the `i' (if-modified-since) flag is specified, the library will try to fetch the content only if it is newer than last_modified. For HTTP an If-Modified-Since HTTP header is sent. For FTP a MTDM command is sent first and compared locally. For FILE the source file is compared. You the http header you need to check is If Modified Since
