It is very common on corporate servers.
I guessed so :-)
And anyway, my 100 mbps connection today only makes 70. And what I found is that many sites are slow! They don't feed me as many bytes as I can take. Even some updates in YaST go slow (typically packman).
Rate limiting is normal, any/all major sites and services are going to rate-limit you. You buy more bandwidth for more aggregate throughput of concurrent transactions, you do not buy more bandwidth for 'faster downloads' - that won't work.
That's not what they talk about on their commercials, on the contrary, that you'll get more speed, that web browsing will fly.
Right, that's how you sell it to Joe Bloggs. Nothing much wrong with that.
Normally yast downloads updates quite fast; it is packman which goes slower, at least some times. The difference is the absence of mirrorbrain, I suppose.
mirrorbrain doesn't add much without a widespread set of mirrors. I don't know pacmans mirroring setup. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.5°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free dynamic DNS, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
