All that detail and missed stating the most important bit. Anyway, I'm in Thailand. Thanks for your help on this. It just goes to show - it's so much better to write a bug report than just whinge on the forums.

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.

So, I'll have to wait a bit before trying the experiments promised above. In the meantime, I can tell you that the prototype, using aria2 as a backend for zypper and yast2, certainly seems to solve this bug for openSuse 11.1. I got good, though not fantastic, speed and more importantly, no timeouts, from the kde4.2 unstable repo. I don't know which mirrors aria2 assigned for the kde4 unstable repo (roll on 11.2!) but I searched around manually for one, and couldn't find anything nearby. So without the aria2 backend, I would have been stuck with kde 4.1. I'm going to try using the email address you gave for KU to "encourage" them get the 11.1 repos mirrored. Do you happen to have an email address for mirror.in.th? I looked around the Burapha University site, but couldn't find anything specific.
