If I had to make a guess, I'm guessing they want an option for flexo to automatically download package updates every configurable amount of time (without installing them)
I thought about that, and decided to not implement this for different reasons. One reason is that this would cause unnecessary traffic on the mirrors because some packages are updated much more often than they are installed. For example, if a package is updated from version 1 to 2 and then 3, Flexo might download all three versions, but pacman might upgrade from 1 to 3 without ever downloading version 2. This is wasteful and something that I want to avoid, especially since the mirrors are provided by volunteers.
Another reason is that Flexo does not know which packages are required by the client. Just because a package has been downloaded in the past does not mean that a newer version of this package will also be downloaded. The user might have installed the package, tried it out, and immediately decided to uninstall it.

If you implement this option you can consider the auto refresh option after that. ;)

What do you mean by "auto refresh option"?
