Is there a mirror for the YaST-compatible Guru's RPM Repository? Surely some of the popular mirrors would make enough space available, wouldn't they?
Come on, just change ftp to ftp4 and go on. 1000 OpenSUSE users more or less a day really is peanuts. ;-))
Yowsa! That made a _huge_ difference in the set of packages I see in YaST Install & Remove. I was preparing a posting about how I couldn't find a bunch of the dependencies for running iPodder (a Python-based podcast aggregator), but it's all moot, now. Thanks for pointing this out and sorry to make you say it twice. I really do appreciate all the work of all you folks in making this new release available.
Even more: if you all would start your YOU at the same time, it can be very efficient because the second YOU'er already hits a buffer cache match (and so on).
So let's try: please as many as possible of the readers here (but nowhere else ;-)) change their YOU and/or YaST installation source to ftp4, and let the 0 minute of each full hour be the moment to trigger installation or update.
Ummm... I'm not sure if you're kidding or not. You don't _really_ want us all to synchronize our access to your server, do you?
I will report here if I see an effect.
