Hi Peter,
In answer to your questions:
1. mirror.in.th is the one I have been using for some time now, and get good
speed from (usually around 50kB/s).
The repositories I have directed there myself are:
- openSuse-11.0-Updates
- openSuse-11.0-Oss
- openSuse-11.0-Non-Oss
- openSuse-11.0-Debug
To be honest, I haven't tried using the download.opensuse.org addresses for
those repositories for a few weeks. If they are being redirected to the
mirror.in.th addresses now, there is no reason why the download speed should be
slower.
I'll try comparing the redirector with the mirror.in.th addresses, download the
same file using each and let you know the results.
I've noticed slowness for various things I've got from the build service, but
the one I noticed most recently (which prompted me to file this bug report) was
updating KDE4.2 Beta.
Downloading was generally at <1kB/s with frequent time-outs. I'm pretty sure
the QT4 repository was slow as well as the KDE4:UNSTABLE, both of which are
assigned to the redirector. The rest of the download (it was a full system
update) was at good speed, via mirror.in.th and the packman mirror in Taiwan.
2. Thanks for the mirrors list. I'll try a few and get back to you.
3. Contact information for Kasetsat Mirrors:
I couldn't find an email address either, but I did find phone and fax numbers.
Office of Computer Services, Kasetsart University, Paholyothin Rd., Chatuchak,
Bangkok 10900, THAILAND , Tel: +66 2 562 0951-5, Fax: +66 2 562 0950
I would think most of the people there would have reasonable English, but if
you have a problem, let me know and I'll help to facilitate.
BTW, I've been looking for contact information for the mirror.in.th people
myself. I know it's at Burapha university, but I couldn't find an email
address, fax or phone. I'd like to try to persuade someone to mirror Packman.
The closest I can get is Taiwan, which is OK, but nowhere near as fast as the
Thai mirror.
Now I know about the Kasetsat mirror, I'll call them later in the week about
that. So, if you do want me to call for you, just give me a list of questions
and I'll do my best.
I'll leave the status as NEEDINFO, until I get back with the rest.
Cheers
