When testing a jetty update in bug 8465 which needed a large number of packages installing, 227 to be exact, I noticed that after so many downloads in batches of 8 it suddenly downloaded a big lump all at once before returning to batches of 8 again. It may be coincidence but it occurred after the 128th package. Also when trying to produce some data for this bug report I noticed the output of --debug seems garbled. I used the line below with all Testing medias disabled.. # urpmi --debug --bug urpmidata jetty jetty-manual jetty-maven-plugins jetty-javadoc and then # tar cfa urpmidata{.tar.xz,} The resulting file is 6.2Mb which is too large to attach here so please find it at the link below.. https://dl.dropbox.com/u/4147101/urpmidata.tar.xz
I would say it's just that those packages have cross deps urpmi will create transactions of at least 8 packages, but that doesn't mean all transactions will be 8 packages (that would be impossible depending on package dependancies)
