>Sometimes I like to have a look at the contents of an archive *before* I install it...
Well, with the client you see all contents and descriptions even before downloading the package.

>If I understood right, links are meant to create dependencies between packages ?
No. Link-packakages are use to refer to antoher archives, ie. files on aminet. At generation, you must give the URL to the archive you want to refer to. Then this archive is
temporary downloaded by the client and converted to a index file. So, if you install such a package it grabs from aminet instead from ie. your HP. People can use this if they have no hostspace. Its just a link to another archive of any type, like lha, lzx, zip...
