Are sig files properly downloaded ? #126
Description
I don't see a clear problem but I am a bit surprised when looking at the files in the cache directory:

/var/cache/pacoloco/pkgs/archlinux #
It seems the file core.db and core.db.sig are exactly the same... is that wanted ???
It seems to affect only the repo files though

Looks like this is known/intentional:
pacoloco/downloader.go
Lines 78 to 79 in 0c82591

As a heads up: pacoloco seems to be a bit flaky when it comes to syncing database files. During setup, I ran into a lot of weird, non-reproducible GPG related problems.
It seems to be a lot more stable if I set it up as a
CacheServer(instead ofServer) in mypacman.conf, like this:This avoids mirroring database files altogether.
