Well, I have been away a week. I was hoping that my earlier issue with the timeouts from this system would have been resolved (expecting them to be mirror issues). This is not the case.
We fixed a configuration issue last Friday, thus the response time should be much better now. I'm surprised that you still seem to have problems.
Me too. I just tried again, and it is failing at the same point. Here is what zypper prints when it fails. Some packages download, and others do not...

At first, this failure message (which is meaningless) should be fixed to provide details. It should say what the failure exactly is, which will give a hint to the answer why the failure occured and what can be done about it. With an error message unspecific like this, it is difficult to do something about it. Having said that, I checked that all mirrors that have the file http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization%3a/Appliances/openS... deliver it correctly (md5 sum 782dc51b4c020372a57af17ae99e3d8e) and swiftly. This included the Swedish mirror (I think you might be in Sweden, but I don't know since you didn't say so). I noticed that ftp.nux.ipb.pt is very slow in sending data. But for files > 1MB (like the kiwi-doc package), that mirror is specially configured as reserve mirror, so it is always given lowest priority in the download description. It is always the last in the list. So I don't think that your download client would ever try that mirror at all. And even if so, I don't know whether that a very slow download might lead to a "Failure to download" (I don't think so). In addition, I notice that all download description (metalinks) which download.opensuse.org serves are lacking verification hashes. That should be fixed as soon as possible. But that's again something which is unlikely to be related to the problems that you are seeing. (For files in repositories/Virtualization:/Appliances, the hashes aren't needed.) What you could do meanwhile is trying out whether your download client works correctly by repeatedly issueing the following commands, and observing the output for speed and errors: aria2c http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/Virtualization:/Appliances/openSUS... rm kiwi-doc-4.21-80.1.i586.rpm* Peter-- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
