[Bug 216872] New: download.suse.com is slow and broken, not a good default

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216872
Summary: download.suse.com is slow and broken, not a good default
Product: openSUSE 10.2
Version: Beta 1 plus
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: Critical
Priority: P5 - None
Component: Basesystem
AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReportedBy: andreas.hanke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
QAContact: qa@xxxxxxx
It seems that you are offering download.suse.com by default as optional extra
source during installation by now.
I'm not sure whether this is a good idea:
- Other than download.opensuse.org, it just doesn't work for me. I tried using
it during the Alpha phase and ran again and again into the problem that
download.suse.com redirects to different mirrors for every single file.
This causes checksum errors if the mirrors it redirects to are out of sync and
renders the installation source basically unusable. Just now, I tested it again
and on the first attempt it already redirected me to download.uni-hd.de which
is dead since ages.
Remember that checksum errors and unavailable packages and metadata files are
known to crash YaST and make it lose data: bug 215445, bug 214886, bug 212048.
- It is damn slow. I observed it during the testing phase where it was never
fast, not a single time. So it's not a problem of getting redirected to a slow
mirror from time to time, it's always slow.
I tried to reproduce this and succeeded on the first attempt. After multiple
tries, inst-source-extra from download.suse.com was finally accepted without
checksum errors, and now I'm currently downloading acroread with modem speed.
Severity is "Critical" because adding this has a severe impact on the perceived
performance and usability of the software management stack and is IMHO worse
than not offering inst-source-extra by default at all.
Please fix download.suse.com or use something else that works better.
