Hi,
would it be possible to show the mirror which is accessed when downloading a package?
(Technically, the download client is following redirects and the actualy URL needs to be shown, not just the first URL that was contacted but that redirected to another URL)
It is a long-standing problem that this information is lacking and it makes debugging and optimizing much harder than necessary, because this information is only available deeply buried in some logfile.
We need this information for two reasons:
1) Debugging - to see which URL was accessed when something goes wrong, like a mirror timing out. For example, Whenever a mirror returns garbage, it takes a lot of additional time to find out which one, because all reports are lacking the critical detail, and it is usually hard to find it out later.
2) Optimizing the load sharing between different mirrors - to distinguish slow mirrors from fast ones. For example, I am very much in need of information about the situation in the US, but even though people in the US run installations for me and are willing to send me logs, I can't get this information.
Do you want the information in the log or to be shown in e.g. zypper -vvv ? And of course, you will not like this ;-) - I suggest to either open a bug report or file a feature request (openSUSE.org one). Mail here will almost certainly get lost.
