Here i constantly get errors and just sometimes a success, removing the metalink makes it work
How about making that a zypper feature to automatically fall back to `ZYPP_MULTICURL=0` after multiple failed attempts to work around broken mirroring infrastructure?
We are already working on a full async backend that will completely replace the current curl and multicurl backends, so we are not going to introduce big changes into the old backend. Auto Fallback also is a bit tricky, consider a codepath that is just checking if a file exists. IF we'd do auto fallback on errors or auto retries all file existance checks had to be run multiple times, making zypper slower. IMO the feasible solution would be to implement opt in switches for automatic retries on failed downloads. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
