https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=214956 ------- Comment #4 from alpha096@tpg.com.au 2006-10-25 22:39 MST ------- A second attempt to install this package was successful. It is painfully apparent that most all online update problems are associated defendant on how busy the selected mirror is. The other dependent problem is how much load there is on the bandwidth of the receiving LAN. This MUST be resolved because the more people who move to Linux the more busy the mirrors are all going to be. Most of the online update errors are all closed with worksforme and indeed it worksforme as well if I choose a time when my mirror is not too busy and LAN traffic is at a minimum. These constraints are applied by the variables in ZMD. ZMD has been the biggest problem associated with YOU with the introduction of version 10.1. Its value in further releases needs to be re-evaluated as the most all the enormous problems reported with YOU are a result of the parameter set in ZMD The option of retry/resend etc are NOT application issues. These issues are dependent on the redundancy and acknowledgments built within the comms. I feel we should not interfere with the redundancy/resent/retry issues embedded and form a large part of the protocol. If we fail to address Online updates soon we will perhaps get to the point where we have the files to fix problems, however it will be a hit and miss situation on who can and who cannot apply them dependent on available bandwidth. I feel very sorry for those user using dialup with restricted bandwidth available. See screen shot Please forgive my passionate dialogged here. Please discuss further with QA team. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
